BLISTERED GREEN BEANS WITH SHALLOTS AND PISTACHIOS
The bittersweet taste of blistered green beans shines through the strong flavors of soy and lime in this side dish, where fried shallots, garlic and pistachios add crunch. Cutting the beans in half makes them easier to maneuver in the wok and helps them cook evenly. For a bit of heat, toss in a minced bird's-eye chile or sprinkle some red-pepper flakes over the dish when adding your garnishes. You can serve these blistered beauties alongside your Thanksgiving turkey - but they're equally at home on the dinner table, regardless of the season.

Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large wok or saucepan set over high, adding more as needed to cover the bottom. Once the oil is hot, add the shallots and season with salt. Cook until shallots turn golden brown and slightly crisp, about 4 to 6 minutes. (Watch them carefully, and pull them from the pan when just golden, or they will taste very bitter.) Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shallots to a medium bowl.
- In the same wok, heat 1 tablespoon oil over high. Fry the garlic and pistachios, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant and the pistachios are light brown, about 30 to 45 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to the bowl with the shallots.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the wok and reduce the heat to medium-high. Add the green beans and season with salt. Stir-fry until they blister, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add the soy sauce to the green beans and remove from heat. Add lime juice and black pepper and fold to coat.
- Transfer the green beans to a serving bowl or plate. Garnish with the fried shallots, garlic and pistachios. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose fresh string beans: Look for beans that are bright green, crisp, and have no blemishes.
- Trim the beans: Cut off the ends of the beans and remove any strings.
- Blanch the beans: This will help them retain their color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Immediately remove the beans from the boiling water and plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Use high-quality shallots: Shallots add a lot of flavor to this dish, so it's important to use good-quality ones. Look for shallots that are firm and have no blemishes.
- Cook the shallots until they are caramelized: This will bring out their sweetness and flavor. To caramelize the shallots, heat some butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and soft.
- Add the beans and cook until they are heated through: Once the shallots are caramelized, add the beans and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are heated through.
- Season the beans with salt and pepper: To taste.
- Serve the beans immediately: This dish is best served hot.
Conclusion:
String beans with shallots is a simple but delicious side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner. The beans are crisp and tender, the shallots are caramelized and sweet, and the overall flavor is savory and satisfying. This dish is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, potassium, and fiber.
