Jose Garces's Green Beans with Oranges and Dates


 
Garces is an Iron Chef America winner and chef-owner of Amada – Spanish Tapas cuisine in Philadelphia.  It is a heavenly delight to partake any of his dishes whether it is as simple as a soup or salad or as elaborate as an entrée.  There is so much creativity and art to his dishes that it leaves foodies with a culinary experience that feels new and amazing.

This dish gives a spike to the typical green beans that are served at thanksgiving.  The vinaigrette along with dates and oranges give a sweet and tangy touch to this traditional thanksgiving vegetable.

This delicious dish was prepared by my good friend Mamatha . She added crushed red peppers and sliced almonds to enhance the flavors from the original recipe.  Big  thanks to Mamatha for sharing this wonderful recipe and the pic!!!



Ingredients :

·  ¼ cup sherry vinegar (red wine or apple cider vinegar is suitable
   alternative)
·  1 Tbsp. finely chopped thyme

·  ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
·  2 pounds green beans, trimmed
·  3 oranges, peel, pith, and seeds removed, segmented
·  2 cups pitted dates (about ½ pound), sliced
·  1 cup roasted sliced almonds (about ¼ pound)
·  ½ cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
·  ½ tsp. crushed red pepper, plus more to taste
·  ½ tsp. crushed red pepper, plus more to taste

3. Heat vinaigrette in a large, deep skillet over medium heat until warm, about 1 minute. Add green beans and toss gently until warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and add crushed red peppers, oranges, dates, almonds, parsley, ½ tsp. salt, and sliced shallots and stir gently to combine.

4. Transfer to a serving platter, top with a dusting of paprika and sliced almonds, and serve.
