Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 2 pounds green or yellow beans, (tips trimmed)
  • 4 large shallots, (thinly sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instruction

  • In a large skillet, over medium heat, add the butter and the olive oil, along with the shallots and salt.
  • Saute the shallots until caramelized. Slow is the way to go to get a good caramelized shallot. Allow 30 minutes of saute time for this part of the recipe.
  • Next, toss in the green and yellow beans, and the black pepper. Toss to coat with caramelized shallots.
  • Saute the beans for 5 minutes. The beans will be heated all the way through, but still have a little crunch. If you prefer a softer green bean, saute for an additional few minutes.
  • Plate and serve immediately.
