Green Beans With Caramelized Shallots Recipe

Ingredients

1lb green snap beans, trimmed

2 TBLS light butter

4 medium shallots thinly sliced

1/8 tsp table salt or to taste

1/8 tsp black pepper or to taste

1 tsp lemon zest

Preparation

Steam green beans until tender, about 5 min. Run under cold water for 30 seconds; set a side. Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and cook, stirring often, until golden brown, about 5 min (add a bit of water if necessary to prevent burning). Add green beans and toss until hot; season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with lemon zest and serve.
