Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams fresh green beans
- 2 medium shallots
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Trim the ends off the green beans and rinse them under cold water. Set aside.
Peel and thinly slice the shallots.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
Drain the green beans and transfer them immediately to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain and pat dry.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and foamy.
Add the sliced shallots to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, or until golden and caramelized.
Add the green beans to the skillet with the shallots. Toss to combine and cook for 3-4 minutes until the beans are heated through.
Season with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Stir well to evenly coat the beans.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh dill just before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
