Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 cups green beans, fresh, cut
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 medium shallots, diced
  • 1/4 cup cider vinegar or lemon juice
  • 4 tsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt - or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp pepper - or to taste
  • 1 can (14 oz) corn (optional)

Instruction

  • Wash, trim and cut green beans and dice your shallots. 
  • In a medium sized pot boil beans in water for about 5 minutes or until tender and bright green. Drain and leave in your colander. 
  • In the same pot heat the oil and wait for the oil to shimmer or a drop of water flicked in it dances.  Add the diced shallots. Sauté over medium-high heat and stir constantly, until softened, about 3 or 4 minutes. 
  • Add the vinegar, salt, pepper and sugar and stir until incorporated. Taste mixture. Ken prefers things a little sweeter than I do and so might you! 
  • Add drained can of corn if using. Return beans to the pot. Combine and remove from heat.  Toss gently until corn and beans are well coated. Serve immediately and enjoy!
