GREEN BEANS AND GREENS WITH FRIED SHALLOTS
These delightfully al dente green beans are a quick-cooking nod to the green bean casserole. There is no cream of mushroom soup, but there are fried shallots. Torn leafy greens, briefly sautéed with a bit of butter and a few melted anchovies (which can be omitted for vegetarians), are added to the beans to wilt at the last minute for a very green-on-green side. Depending on what else you're serving, this could almost count as a salad. Be sure to finish with plenty of acid and flaky salt.

Steps:
- Heat oil and shallots in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, swirling the skillet occasionally, until shallots are lightly browned and starting to crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer shallots to a paper towel; season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer half of the oil from the pan to a small bowl. Return the skillet to medium-high heat, and add green beans. Season with salt and pepper and cook, without tossing, until lightly charred and blistered on one side, 3 to 4 minutes. Give them a toss, and cook, another 3 to 4 minutes, until just tender and cooked through.
- Add butter and anchovies, and season with salt and pepper. Add kale, and toss to coat until greens are wilted and tender and butter is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and add vinegar, tossing to coat. Season with salt, pepper and more vinegar, if needed.
- Transfer to a large bowl or platter and drizzle with reserved shallot oil. Scatter with fried shallots and flaky salt, and serve.

Steps:
- Bring a medium pot of cold water to a boil over high heat and salt it generously. Trim the stem end off the green beans. Peel and finely chop the shallot.
- Drop the green beans into the boiling water and cook, uncovered, until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain in a colander set in the sink and rinse with very cold water until cool. Drain well and pat dry with paper towels. (The vegetables can be prepared up to this point, up to 4 hours ahead.)
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallot is just golden, about 2 minutes. Add the green beans, increase the heat to high, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are heated through, about 4 minutes. Season with the 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper and serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender green beans. Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when you bend them. Avoid beans that are wilted, bruised, or have brown spots.
- Trim the green beans before cooking. Remove the tough ends of the beans by snapping them off or cutting them with a knife.
- Blanch the green beans before frying. This will help them retain their bright green color and crisp texture. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Remove the beans from the boiling water and immediately plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Use a light oil for frying. Olive oil or vegetable oil are both good choices. Avoid using butter or margarine, as they can burn easily.
- Fry the green beans in small batches. This will help to prevent them from sticking together and ensure that they cook evenly.
- Season the green beans with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or cayenne pepper.
- Serve the green beans immediately. They are best enjoyed hot and crispy.
Conclusion:
Green beans and greens with fried shallots is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. The green beans are crispy and flavorful, while the greens are tender and slightly bitter. The fried shallots add a savory and crunchy element to the dish. This dish is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables and is sure to please everyone at the table.
