Green Beans and Shallots
Ingredients
2 Pounds of French Cut Green Beans
1 Tablespoon Salt
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
2 Tablespoons Butter
5 Turns of Black Pepper
2 Shallots Diced
Directions
Wash the green beans and cut away the stems from the end of the beans.
Peel away the outside of the shallots. Cut the shallots into a fine dice. Cut the shallots lengthwise twice and then crosswise across the ribs. Then cut across the width to create the dice.
Wine Pairing
The buttery green beans go great with a wine featuring well balanced acidity and citrus floral notes. The Picayune Sauvignon Blanc pairs beautifully and would be a great addition to any Thanksgiving table $21
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the salt. Once the water comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium add the green beans and cook for 3 minutes.
Add the butter and olive oil to a deep frying pan over medium high heat. Add the shallots and sauté for five minutes or until the shallots are tender.
Drain the green beans and add to the shallot mixture. Season with salt and black pepper and cook for about a minute to combine.
Finish The Dish
Remove the green beans from the heat and serve immediately.
