Crisp-tender green beans are given a lift of sweet, smoky flavor with the addition of caramelized shallots. Ingredients:
2 pounds haricots verts (tiny green beans), trimmed |
3 tablespoons butter |
1 tablespoon light brown sugar |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 pound shallots, halved lengthwise and peeled |
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar |
Directions:
1. Cook green beans in boiling salted water to cover 3 to 4 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain. Plunge beans into ice water to stop the cooking process; drain.
2. Melt butter and brown sugar with olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add shallots, and sauté 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, add vinegar, and sauté 10 minutes or until shallots are golden brown and tender.
3. Increase heat to medium-high; add green beans, and sauté 5 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
