These are awesome. I tried these one night at dinner with 6 people, and all agreed that they could eat these beans as the whole meal and forget everything else. I used pepper bacon which added a little more pizzazz.
SERVES 10
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 lbs green beans, trimmed, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 8 slices bacon, thinly sliced crosswise
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2/3 cup shallot, finely chopped (about 4 large)
Directions
1
Cook beans in large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain. Rinse under cold water. Drain well. Pat dry with paper towels. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Wrap in paper towels; enclose in resealable plastic bag and refrigerate.)2
Cook bacon in heavy large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Transfer to paper towels and drain. Discard all but 3 tablespoons bacon fat in skillet. Add butter to skillet and melt over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté until tender and golden, about 4 minutes. Add beans and sauté until heated through, about 6 minutes. Add bacon to skillet and toss to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl and serve.

I really love this method of cooking - really makes for a more elegant end-product. I cooked the beans for 5 minutes and the result was still very "crisp-tender". Next time I'll cook them 6 minutes so that we lean more towards the tender (my preference only). The shallots did make for a very mild taste - the whole effect was simply delicious and beautiful to look at as well. Definitely dinner-party worthy - thanks!

DBF thought these were good and he especially loved the shallots with the milder flavor they added. Was a nice way to do fresh green beans. I halved the recipe and it worked out fine for us, I also used a cast iron skillet. Thanks lazyme!

These were a very tasty, quick and easy way to dress up green beans. I halved the recipe and used frozen green beans. In an effort to make this slightly healthier, I also poured off all the bacon fat and just used what reamained in the bottom of the skillet to saute the shallot (no butter added). Oh yeah, for me 1 lg shallot = 1/3 cup. Thanks for posting!
