Adapted from Bon Appetit, December 2003. The butter really mellows the Dijon mustard, creating a really delicious flavor. Ingredients:
1 (16 ounce) package frozen green beans (whole) or 1 lb fresh green beans (trimmed) |
2 tablespoons butter |
2 large shallots, cut into 1/4-inch thick rounds |
1 tablespoon dijon mustard |
Directions:
1. Heat frozen green beans according to package directions. (Cook fresh green beans in large pot of generously salted boiling water until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain; rinse under cold running water and drain again.).
2. Melt 1 Tbutter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots and saute until deep brown and crisp ( I usually just cook until soft and transluscent). (Green beans and shallots can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.).
3. Melt 1 T butter in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Whisk in mustard. Add green beans; toss until heated through and evenly coated, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Mound beans on platter. Sprinkle with shallots.
