Green Beans with Chipotle Butter

 

bullet¼ cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
bullet1 teaspoon chopped canned chipotle chile
bullet½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
bullet¾ teaspoons salt
bullet1 ½ lbs. green beans, trimmed

Blend butter, chile, vinegar, and salt in mini processor until smooth.

Cook beans in large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender. Drain. Pat dry.

Melt chipotle butter in large skillet. Ad beans and toss until coated and heated through.

NOTE: This is from the Dec. 2006 Bon Appetit. It is for half the given recipe except that "half" the chipotle chile sauce was 3/4 teaspoon and I think it needed a bit more, hence my putting one teaspoon. It said that you could make the butter three days ahead, then refrigerate it. Also that you could boil the beans three hours ahead and just keep them at room temperature. I did them ahead and did not pat them dry. The flavor was really nice and it was not overpowering hot. I served it with Beef Stew and a spinach salad with apples and bacon.
