If traveling with this dish, resist adding the peppers, hazelnuts, and sherry vinegar until just before serving to keep the flavors at their peak.
| 2 | lb. fresh green beans, ends trimmed | |
| 2 | large shallots, sliced crosswise into ¼-inch thick rings | |
| 1½ | Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil | |
| 1½ | tsp. chopped fresh thyme | |
| ~ | Salt | |
| ~ | Freshly ground black pepper | |
| ½ | cup roasted red peppers (preferably piquillo peppers; see Note), rinsed, patted dry, and sliced lengthwise into ¼-inch thick slices | |
| ¼ | cup finely chopped toasted hazelnuts | |
| 1 to 2 | tsp. sherry vinegar or lemon juice |
Jarred piquillo peppers, available at many gourmet markets and Spanish specialty stores, are the best choice for this dish, though regular roasted peppers taste fine too.
Toasted walnuts or slivered almonds may be substituted for the hazelnuts if you prefer.
