String beans with Buttery Shallots

I normally boil fresh string beans because that is the only way my kids will eat them.  My husband told me that he wanted me to spice up the beans tonight, so here we are.  Neither of us are big onion eaters, so shallots are a nice substitute.  Light, with a slightly nutty flavor to them.




1 lb fresh string beans
3 tablespoons salted butter
1 shallot cut into small pieces
Dash of pepper

• Boil washed and trimmed string beans until al dente. Drain and set aside
• In a frying pan,  melt butter
• Add shallots and cook until soft and slightly brown.  
• Add shallot mixture to beans and mix.  Add a dash of pepper
• Serve immediately
