green beans

 

Ingredients:

¾ pound fresh green beans, trimmed

1 teaspoon olive oil

3 shallots, peeled and thinly sliced

1 Tablespoon lemon juice

1 Tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

1 ¼ teaspoon lemon zest

¼ teaspoon garlic, minced

1/8 teaspoon sea salt

1/8 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

Directions:

Place green beans in a steamer and steam over simmering water until tender, about 5 minutes. Run steamed green beans under cold running water for 30 seconds to stop cooking and set aside.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet. Add shallots and cook, stirring often. Add some water to prevent sticking if necessary, until golden and tender, about 5 minutes.

Meanwhile combine parsley, lemon juice, lemon zest and garlic in a small bowl. Set aside.

Add green beans to skillet and toss over medium heat until heated through. Season with salt and pepper.

Place green beans in a serving bowl and sprinkle with lemon mixture.
