Green Beans With Ginger Butter

8 to 10 servings

• Salt
• 2 pounds haricots verts or other green beans, trimmed
• 3-inch piece fresh ginger
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• Finely grated zest from half a lemon

Fill a large bowl with cold water and ice. Set aside. Bring an 8-quart pot of salted water to a boil. Cook beans, uncovered, until just tender, 5 to 9 minutes. Drain beans in a colander, then transfer to ice water to cool and stop the cooking. Drain the beans again and pat dry.

Peel ginger and cut into thin matchsticks. In a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat, heat butter until melted and foam subsides. Add ginger; cook, stirring, until golden, about 3 minutes.

Add beans and cook, stirring, until just heated through, about 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat and add zest and 1/2 teaspoon salt, tossing to combine.
