Preparation

Step 1

Wash and trim the beans. Peel and quarter the shallots. Cut the lemon into wedges.

Heat the oil in a saucepan and sauté the shallots over a low heat until translucent. Add the beans and lemon wedges, toss, and sauté briefly with the other ingredients. Add the salt, pepper, bay leaf, thyme, and wine. Cover and cook over a medium heat until the beans are tender, but still firm to the bite.

Halve and pit the olives, add to the beans, and heat briefly. Sprinkle the beans with the chopped parsley and savory and serve immediately.
