Green Beans With Ginger Butter

1. 1

   Cook beans in an 8-quart pot of boiling salted water, uncovered, until just tender, 5 to 9 minutes (depending on thickness).

2. 2

   Drain beans in a colander and transfer to a large bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking. Drain beans again and pat dry.

3. 3

   Peel ginger and halve crosswise, then thinly slice lengthwise and cut into very thin matchsticks.

4. 4

   Heat butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides, then cook ginger, stirring, until golden, about 3 minutes.

5. 5

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