Best 12 Buttered Green Beans With Shallots And Lemon Recipes

BUTTERED GREEN BEANS WITH SHALLOTS AND LEMON

Steps:

• Heat 1/2 inch oil in a small skillet over medium. When oil shimmers (320 degrees), carefullyadd 1/3 cup shallots. Cook, stirring occasionally with a fork, until just golden and bubbles stop forming rapidly around shallots, 2 to 3 minutes. (They will darken and crisp as they cool; do not let darken in oil, or they will taste bitter.) Transfer to paper towels, season with salt, and let stand until cool and crisp. Continue frying remaining shallots in batches.
• Combine beans, butter, and 1/2 cup water in a large straight-sided skillet; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high, then cook, tossing frequently, until water evaporates, butter begins to brown, and beans are vibrant green and crisp-tender, 8 to 10 minutes. (If water evaporates too quickly, add more, a few tablespoons at a time.)
• Transfer beans to a serving platter and squeeze lemon over top. Serve, with shallots alongside, or top with shallots just before serving.

SAUTEED GREEN BEANS WITH CREAMY LEMON DRESSING

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, until softened, about 1 minute. Add the green beans and salt and pepper to taste. Saute, stirring occasionally, until crisp tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish and set aside.
• Return the skillet to medium-high heat and add the cream, thyme, lemon juice and zest, and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and let reduce by half, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the sour cream. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Pour the dressing over the green beans to serve.
