Joseph Lenn , executive chef of Blackberry Farm ’s dining locus The Barn , say the key to cooking butter beans is to let them cool down in their cooking liquid ; otherwise they ’ll become juiceless and gritty . One of his favorite manner to ready the beans is to cook them with herb and vegetables , toss away them in a vinaigrette , and serve well alongside grilled duck breasts . He shares his formula here .
For the marinade:½ cupful Italian flat - folio parsley farewell ( chopped)¼ cup chives ( exquisitely sliced)¼ cup Basil of Caesarea ( finely sliced)¼ cup mince shallots½ cup sherry vinegar1 cup excess virgin olive oilCombine all ingredients and let them impregnate for at least two hours .
For the butter beans:2 tablespoon canola oil¼ cup shallots ( small dice)1 tablespoon ail ( minced)1 carrot1 rib of celery4 sprigs thyme2 bay leaves1 pint fresh butter beans1 quart veggie brothSalt and capsicum to sample
In a medium - size saucepot over medium heat , heat crude oil until shimmer . Place shallots and garlic and sweat until shallot are semitransparent . Add Daucus carota sativa , celery , thyme , and bay leaves ( tie together with butchers twine ) , butter beans , vegetable broth , and fetch to a simmer . Cook butter beans until tender , then remove carrot , celery , thyme , and bay leaves . coolheaded butter bonce in liquid . Once chilled , stress off all the liquid state , reserving 1 dry pint of the liquidity . Toss beans in marinade ( you will want to smack as you go and probably not need all of the marinade ) and reserve .
For the duck:4 duck knocker ( we like Pekin)1 pint baby collard greensSalt and common pepper as need
Prepare a grillwork using natural charcoal . When the coals are very hot , push them to one side of the grill to create a hot zone for lineal grilling . shoes duck’s egg white meat side down on the grill , make for about 5 - 6 minutes , until the duck skin is golden and crispy . Turn duck’s egg over and remain to fix for 5 - 6 more minutes until medium . let duck to rest . part the beans onto 4 plates ( you might have more noggin than you want to exhaust - they are groovy as a salad ) , aim duck on beans and garnish with baby collards dressed in European olive tree oil and salt and black pepper to try .
