Found this in the local paper as one of the best recipes of 2007. Wanted to save to try when I get shallots from my CSA this summer. Prep time is an estimate.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh green beans
  • 2 shallot, peeled and cut in fine brunoise (about 2 oz)
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • kosher salt, to taste
  • fresh ground pepper, to taste
  • grated nutmeg, to taste

    • Directions

    1. 1
      Remove stem ends from beans, put beans in a bowl and cover with water. Set aside until water comes to room temperature.
    2. 2
      Drain beans, then cook in a gallon of boiling salted water until done, 3 to 5 minutes depending on thickness. Beans are done when they still have a slight raw flavor but are crisp and bright green.
    3. 3
      As soon as beans are done, remove from pot and shock in ice water. Drain, and if desired, refrigerate until ready to use.
    4. 4
      To prepare: Place beans and remaining ingredients in a large saute pan and place over medium-high heat.
    5. 5
      Saute, stirring occasionally, until water is evaporated and butter coats beans and cooks shallots, about 2 minutes.
    6. 6
      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.

    Oh. My. Gosh. These were absolutely amazing. I must confess that before tonight I had never before ate a fresh green bean let alone prepare one. What have I been thinking?!? Amazingly easy and the flavor of the nutmeg was beautifully subtle (I think I used an 1/8 teaspoon or so). My family of three ate every last bite.
