Ingredients
- 1 pound haricots verts (thin French green beans)
- 1 1/2 cups red pearl onions
- 3/4 pound white fingerling potatoes sliced very thin
- 1/2 pound fresh chanterelles cleaned, trimmed, with tough stems discarded
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup shelled fresh peas (abt 1 1/4 lbs in the pods)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Preparation
Step 1
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Nearby, have a large bowl of ice water ready. Trim the haricots verts into 3-inch pieces and blanch them in boiling water for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
Transfer the beans with a slotted spoon to the ice water to immediately stop the cooking process.
Drain them in a colander. In the same boiling water, cook the onions for about 5 minutes and transfer to a colander. Peel and halve the onions and transfer them to a bowl. The vegetables may be prepared a day ahead of time up until this point. Make sure they are cooled completely, and chilled in a sealable plastic bag.
Cut the chanterelles in half or quarters, if they are large. In a heavy skillet, heat the unsalted butter over moderate heat until the foam subsides. Cook the mushrooms with salt to taste, stirring occasionally, for about 2 or 3 minutes, or until they are tender. Add the peas and cook another 2 minutes, or until they are a bright green.
Add the beans, onions, and potatoes, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are just heated through. Stir in the chives and season with salt and pepper.
