Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound haricots verts French green beans, ends trimmed
  • 1 medium shallot finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Trim the ends of the haricots verts and finely chop the shallot.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the haricots verts and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and rinse under cold water and place in ice bath to stop the cooking process.
  • In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped shallot and sauté until translucent, about 1 minute. Add the cooked haricots verts, salt, and pepper. Sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the beans are heated through.
  • Remove from heat, drizzle with fresh lemon juice, and toss to combine. Serve immediately.
