Green Beans With Crisp Shallots Recipe

Leave it to mark bittman to show us how to make the best version of this side standard, green beans with crisp shallots. Bittman's go to method for beans with a little bit of bite involves briefly boiling the green beans, shocking them in ice water, and finishing them with a quick trip to the saut pan. Tossed with crispy sweet butter and olive oil fried shallots, and almonds, if you'd like, this is the recipe that'll have your green beans moving out of blah territory and into much tastier place.
