PERFECT HARICOTS VERTS
Steps:
- Bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil over medium heat. Set up a bowl of ice water and season it generously with salt.
- Add the beans to the boiling water and cook them until they are tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Bite a bean to be sure they are properly cooked. Put them immediately in the bowl of salted ice water to stop the cooking or to "shock" them. When they are cold, remove them from the water and let them dry a little.
- Coat a large saute pan with both clarified butter and olive oil. Bring the pan to a medium-high heat, add the shallots and brown. Add the haricot vert, season with salt and saute until all the beans are coated with oil and hot. Serve immediately or later at room temperature.

HARICOTS VERTS WITH SHALLOTS
I am a green bean lover, but these little beauties have topped my list of favorites. One of Julia Child's pet peeves was undercooked green beans, a style of preparing them that became very popular as California Cuisine spread across the landscape. Yet the flavor of green beans does not blossom until they are adequately cooked, so be sure to test fresh green beans several times to be certain they are done. True haricots verts are about the size of pencil lead or matchsticks. You can sometimes find these in farmers' markets. If you are using bigger green beans, the cooking time will longer.
