GREEN BEANS WITH MUSHROOMS, SHALLOTS AND PANCETTA
This elegant dish is loaded with flavour, and easy to make. I served this with salmon and my DD ate the leftovers cold because it was that good. You can make this ahead by boiling the beans and then refrigerate up to 6 hours ahead. The remaining ingredients can also be prepped up to 6 hours and kept in the refrigerator. An hour before serving, remove the beans from the refrigerator to come to room temperature. The recipe calls to boil the beans but I steamed mine until they are al dente. This is from Fine Cooking.

Steps:
- Wash and cut end of green beans. Bring to boil a pot of water and salt it as this is the only time to really flavor the green beans -- Boil them for about 8-10 minutes then drain water.
- In a separate pan -- put olive oil and butter -- medium heat as not to burn. Pour green beans, shallot- sliced thinly, pre-sliced mushrooms and garlic and sautee for about 5 minutes! You can add more garlic if you want!
- Make sure green beans are still firm.not to mushy. Add some more seasonings to taste after you are finishing the sautee as this will bring out the water from the mushrooms and the sweetness of the shallot !
- Enjoy!
SHALLOT SAUTEED GREEN BEANS
Sautéing the green beans with shallots after blanching make this dish a delicious alternative to just steaming or boiling. Toss in some cooked, crumbled bacon or sauteed mushrooms to add your own flair. Great with mashed potatoes and fried chicken, or add some sesame oil and pair with steamed rice.
