- Continue sauteing 1 to 2 minutes (possibly longer if beans are cold from the refrigerator) or until beans are heated through. Adjust seasoning to taste ans serve.
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.

Steps:
- Bring 6-7 quarts of water to a boil in a large, deep pot. When at a rolling boil, add two pinches of salt.
- Carefully add the washed and trimmed green beans.
- Stir gently for 30-45 seconds, or until the beans turn a bright green color. The ideas is not only to blanch them, but to partially cook them.
- After 30-45 seconds have passed, drain beans into colander. Toss beans to remove any excess water and leave to drain.
- Melt butter over low heat. When foaming subsides, add olive oil. Add the shallots in handfuls, separating the layers while sprinkling into the pan.
- Allow the shallot to cook over medium heat until it becomes slightly translucent.
- Add beans, boost heat to medium high. Toss the beans with the butter and oil until all are coated.
- Continue to toss the beans every few minutes, or until they are cooked through and a little browned. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when you bend them. Avoid beans that are limp or have brown spots.
- Trim the green beans: Remove the tough ends of the green beans. You can do this by snapping them off or using a sharp knife.
- Blanch the green beans (optional): Blanching the green beans in boiling water for a few minutes helps to preserve their color and crispness. To blanch the green 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. Immediately remove the green beans from the boiling water and place them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Use a variety of shallots: Shallots come in a variety of colors, from white to red. White shallots have a milder flavor, while red shallots have a more pungent flavor. You can use any type of shallot in this recipe, but I prefer to use red shallots for their more intense flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When you are sautéing the green beans, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the green beans from cooking evenly.
- Season to taste: Season the green beans with salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
Conclusion:
This sautéed green beans with shallots and nutmeg is a delicious and easy side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. The green beans are crisp and tender, the shallots are sweet and savory, and the nutmeg adds a warm, nutty flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit at your next dinner party!
