Green Beans with Shallots

If you are looking for a nice green bean side dish- I think you will really like this one. The sauce, made from a mix of herbs, shallots and garlic make these special. This is one of my favorite recipes for fresh green beans. I hope you give it a try. We had them with dinner the other night and ate them all.

Green Beans with Shallots

1 lb. Green beans, washed and trimmed
4 T. olive oil
¾ c. minced shallots
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 T. chopped parsley
¾ t. salt
¼ t. each thyme, marjoram and basil

Boil or steam beans until tender, about 6 minutes. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, start sauce. Heat oil in skillet and add shallots. Cook, over medium heat, until shallots start to turn golden brown. Add garlic and seasonings. Cook 5 minutes then add beans. Toss to coat beans. Serves 4-6.

Note: If you want to make these the day ahead, make the sauce and cook beans until almost tender. Combine beans and sauce and place in casserole dish. Chill until ready to use. When ready to serve, just place bean mixture in oven or microwave and cook until heated through and beans are tender.
