Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 2 medium shallots
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Wash the green beans thoroughly and trim the ends. Set them aside.
Peel and thinly slice the shallots. Mince the garlic cloves and set both aside.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a generous pinch of salt and blanch the green beans for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender.
Drain the green beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and olive oil to the pan.
Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the shallots. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shallots are soft and caramelized.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Toss the blanched green beans into the skillet with the shallots and garlic. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are heated through and coated in the buttery shallot mixture.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the green beans and toss once more to combine.
Remove from heat and transfer the sautéed green beans to a serving dish. Serve warm and enjoy!
