How To Perfectly Cook Green Beans | Chef Jean-Pierre

[@robbinolson7061]

Chef Jean-Pierre, I am 70 years of age and learning to cook thanks to you! I live in a senior community. I was gifted a bag of purple beans (turn green when cooked) and followed your recipe. You always give fantastic instructions. I used regular tomatoes sliced thin and did not have almonds so I left them out. I have NEVER tasted such magnificent beans! I shared half of these beans with my neighbor and could not stop raving about them! You teach me something new with every video and at 70 years of age I am just beginning to learn how to cook, thanks to YOU!

[@michellepham7544]

I am going to do this too!! thank u for specifiying how you cut your tomatoes. do you cook until the juices have reduced?

This channel completely ruined all my favorite restaurants. I've cooked some things so good, my family no longer enjoys things we used to eat. I love this channel, and Jean Pierre is know as "chef" in our house. Please keep making fantastic videos.

[@Visitkarte]

Same here. We thought about eating out today… nah, gotta cook my favorite stuff from Chef at home.

I have learned so much from Chef Jean Peirre. I've also learned an easy way to make pudding and pie filling in the microwave. Collard county cooks. I've cooked in restaurants for over 25 years. Now retired I've cooked with butter and cream for a long time.

[@hoptoi]

I was just thinking that today after eating at one of my favorite restaurants, and realizing afterwards that I could have made it better. Thank you, Chef! ❤️😘

[@bhappy8892]

My goodness chef, this is the best green beans recipe I have ever made. So flavorful, simple and delicious. Thank you very much. Can't wait to try your other recipes.

[@ChefJeanPierre]

You're most welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it! 🙏❤️

[@robertninic5555]

"We like butter. We looove butter! Don't let anyone tell you it's not good for you." OMG, it cracked me up because it's exactly what my great grandfather used to say - I love it. 😄

[@yosoftballgirl4ever]

Same with my grandmother lol, if something didn’t taste right she covered it in butter & threw it in the toaster (didn’t matter what it was really)

[@jceepf]

I am orginally from Quebec, 64 years old. My grandpa prevented my grandmother to buy tasty margarine. Not because of the taste, but because we were a dairy region! I like better Chef Jean-Pierre's reason: one molecule away from acrylic.

[@josephmarshall1371]

I like that fact he says to cook them how you want. In all of his videos I have seen. It’s never been this is the only way to do X

[@caglargenc1316]

Wow, In Turkey we traditionally make green beans as pot food. We saute the onyo with butter or olive oil, add some tomato paste or tomato. Then add beans, saute 5 mins and add hot water on top of it, slowly cooks about 35 mins. Such a classical Aegean Turkish food.

[@obozomustgo5449]

With Chef JP, butter is it's own food group!

[@craigb47]

Perfect side dish for a roasted steak!!!

[@umrumr9453]

Very nice Almond Butter Green Beans; you know what the saying is “Butter makes the taste much better naturally”; this says it all!

[@smoothbeak]

I agree with you, thank goodness they came to their senses and realised that butter is amazing, and certainly much better than margarine.

[@cecilerudis4610]

I remember the days when "they" said butter is bad...you must use margarine. YUK - I kept using butter, lots of butter!!!

[@cecilerudis4610]

@Alvin H They sure are :)

[@smoothbeak]

@Alvin H Haha yep :) Very different

[@curiouslyme524]

Margarine definitely isn't healthy for you.

I swear, Chef Jean-Pierre could teach a rock to cook!

[@y2ksw1]

In my business, I like to say: It took me hours to learn coding, and a lifetime to program. Translated, and yet so true: It took me minutes to learn boiling and a lifetime to cook. I am a presentable cook after now 8 years cooking, but I tell you, climbing the one step up to become a chef, is very difficult. Not because I could not call myself a chef, but because I want to have the right knowledge beforehand. I have had the fortune to work with famous italian chefs for a couple of months each, and I am glad to refresh my knowledge with you, and learn a few new tricks now and then. For me it is most valuable to see the ease you juggle pots and pans, the way you cut the contents, make sauces and decorate. One can make the most delicious plate, but if thrown at you like in company mensa's, everything tastes the same.

[@ManuelTrujano]

I love to watch your videos early in the morning, you make me start the day in a good mood

[@barryphillips6658]

Thank you so much for all the Thanksgiving, holiday, cooking dishes over the past days. You have inspired me. On my table this year will be your stuffed turkey breast, turkey and cognac gravy, chorizo sausage stuffing, carrot and butternut squash soufflé, cranberry and orange salsa, these butter green beans, and your eggnog holiday cheesecake with rum raisin sauce. The only thing missing from my table will be you - but you'll be there in spirit. And whatever we don't eat, we'll put in the freezer. Word on the street is your food lasts 17 years in the freezer :) Happy Holidays!

[@theoldbigmoose]

We know this Thanksgiving series has been a lot of work for you Chef, but know how deeply it is appreciated. Some of us will still be alone without family due to the virus, your cooking inspires us to make is special even though it is just the wife and I. We thank you!

[@cecho9367]

I’ll let you know if the 17 year thing is true. 17 years ago I made an entire thanksgiving dinner and put it in the freezer. Tomorrow I’m going to defrost it and heat it up. Easy peasy. I’ll have plenty of time to watch football. 🏈 🦃

[@garyvee6023]

I was soooo happy to hear you explain the ice/cold water. I had a huge argument...., many many years ago over "EXACTLY" that fact. Just because there are ice cubes in the water..., does "NOT" make iced water. 🤦‍♂ I truly don't understand why people don't understand this. 😧

[@Farlig69]

2:56 I have a guilty confession - I LOVE overcooked green beans served with LOTS of butter & pepper!! I was served "haricots verts" like that many times over in France over 30 years ago when on a long trip there and have loved them that way ever since!! Bring them to the boil, then swith off the heat or turn it to very very low for one hour. Drain & dry carefully then add a load of butter & lots of freshly ground black pepper - it´s to die for!!!!

[@nobodyknows3180]

I could never understand the French obsession with butter until I went to France. French butter is superior in taste, texture and aroma to butter I've purchased anywhere else.

[@traktorkiwi5919]

Chef is on the spot, in south America people prefer the vegetables crunchy and in Europe cooked until soft

[@norma2310]

These lessons are very important bc so many young ppl were not taught how to cook at or home and many are wanting to know how to cook than eating out the same boring stuff. Everyone is on a rat race, I know and have friends who have hundred thousand dollar kitchens and can’t boil water or turn their stove on. That’s the truth. It’s really fun the way you give many options to the dishes you’re preparing.

[@liahfox5840]

I finally got around to making this, but only because I got the purple beans, and garlic fresh off a farm. They were outstanding! Thank you!

[@rexannam2646]

As a patient of bladder issues, I love taking your recipes and making them bladder friendly. Since you use a little (😉😂) butter, they lend themselves well to alteration. It can be hard to find really good recipes that won't cause problems, and your recipes give a beautiful gourmet touch to dishes that can be made bladder and prostate friendly. A million thanks from our community for giving us your recipes and your 50+ years of experience with making fantastic food, and the motivation to get us back in our kitchens to cook for ourselves. Keep spreading laughter and light as well. My grandmother would say that by spreading laughter the universe heals your soul. We all need laughter in this world right now. So again, a million thanks!!!❤

I love the wok cooking. I use my wok for western cooking. It's great. Of course, I use it too for Chinese. If you use a carbon steel wok, it's even better for non stick cooking. Finally a chef that knows how to use all types of cookware.

I love watching this channel, it's one of the best cooking channels i've come across. I swear every time he says buuhhtter, it's like he's making love to the word with his tongue. I don't think this is the real Chef Jean-Pierre though. Maybe a double to do the show when he doesn't have time, he said he had to move the butter out of the way.

[@jacquelinemilton6387]

My grandma has me go to her garden and pick the green beans w butter sour cream and some feather fill u still mk that today God bless grandma

[@etm567]

That's how I've always done them, unless I am cooking them southern style, which means many hours with pork -- ham hocks or salt pork or some such thing. I have a story to tell about these. I moved to NY City in the late 1970s. At some point I had a dinner party and invited my little brother and the people he worked with at the NY Public Library at Lincoln Center. One man in particular looked askance at my green beans -- cooked southern style -- and he put two or three of them on his plate with a grim look on his face. But, gee, guess what? He adored them. Piled them high and ate several helpings. It's surprising sometimes what you discover is actually delicious, even though it goes against all the rules you were raised with. I can cook green beans either way and love them. Right now, as I am recovering from colitis, I am supposed to eat them "well cooked." Hmm....

[@patriciasodaro8670]

Hello Jean Pierre! You gave me the confidence to NOT stuff the turkey with the dressing. First time in decades! Loved it just as much. I used to stuff the cavity and the back end and stitch it up like I was closing a surgery! Lol! Used buttermilk and turkey stock and even made my gravy in advance! I had the most enjoyable day this year because it was so much easier. No digging the stuffing out of the bird and no last minute gravy mess. THANK YOU for tour suggestions, your humor, your recipes and your smile! Makes my day really! Please keep your videos coming! I love them!

Jean, you will probably scoff at me for this, but in my little town, fresh greed beans are hard to come by after the garden is done. I make this dish using Green Giants French cut canned green beans. My family and friends all say the dish is just as good as made in the summertime from fresh. We love our green beans.

[@dobbinj]

I made these green beans for Christmas dinner along with your BBQ short ribs. I've made the short ribs before and knew they were going to be fantastic. I figured that the beans would be good, but everyone was amazed at how wonderful they are! My wife is the head chef in the house but after that meal she is going to "adjust" how she cooks green beans in the future. Wonderful easy recipe. Chef, thankyou so much for sharing!

Hello Chef Jean Pierre, I've been cooking for a long time. But I must say I have learned so many proper techniques from you that now I do automatically. And I must say that it makes a big difference in the end results. Like the mise en place, cook the onons first, cook the mushrooms until the water has evaporated, add the garlic at the end and so on and on. Thank You So Much. Best Regards Pierre

Morning Chef, we love green beans. Your style of cooking those delicious green beans is perfect. I don't always serve them with the nuts, but it's great. Can eat them just as it is!! At home try some parmesan cheese or cheddar cheese sprinkled over, they are so hot from the stove, the cheese just enhances the flavour and gently melts into the beans. Have a great day. Till next time, go well
