Green Beans with Egg Yolk Sauce Recipe

 Green Beans with Egg Yolk Sauce Recipe

Ingredients:

500g fresh green beans

4 egg yolks

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Zest of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons butter

Salt and pepper to taste

Chopped parsley and chives for garnish

Preparation:

Cook the green beans in boiling water with a pinch of salt until tender but still crunchy, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and set aside.

In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the lemon juice and zest until well combined and uniform in color.

Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add the egg yolk mixture, stirring constantly so that the sauce thickens and does not curdle. Cook for about 2 minutes until creamy.

Season with salt and pepper to taste, then stir the green beans into the sauce, mixing well.

Serve hot, garnished with parsley, chives and a few more lemon zest to enhance the flavor.

This sauce, with the acidity of the lemon and the creaminess of the egg yolks, brings a rich and tasty combination to the green beans, perfect to accompany meats or to be enjoyed as a main course.
