Green Beans with Garlic and Shallots

By CorbettCook

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lb fresh green beans or haricots verts
• 3 Tbs butter
• 1/3 cup thinly sliced garlic
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced shallots
• 1/2 tsp dried rosemary (or 1 tsp fresh)
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt, more to taste

Preparation

Step 1

In a steamer basket or metal colander covered with a lid and set over a large pot filled with about an inch of boiling water, steam the beans until crisp-tender (2-5 minutes). Drain. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the garlic and shallots to the melted butter and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until garlic is lightly browned. To the skillet, add the beans, herbs, salt and pepper, and saute for another 3-5 minutes, until heated through. Taste and add more salt if needed.
