Another entry in my collection of "Pepin recipes which look more complicated than they are." This would be a great vegetable for when company comes over... it looks classy but requires only a hair more time and attention than boiled green beans.

Crunchy beans with good flavor. If you like green beans, you would like this version, but if you don't, then you won't. I guess this is not a child-friendly recipe.

Beans are cooked in boiling water, then cooled off and dried off. After this, shallots are sautéed in butter and oil, and after that, the beans added back in. A generous sprinkling of salt and pepper then sets it off.

I found that the timing for cooking the beans was spot on, and the final flavor very nice. 13 daughter - not so favorable impressed.
