| 4 | 15 minutes |
Ingredients
12 oz haricots verts
0.25 cup water- 0.25 tsp salt
1 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 Tbsp shallot
Cookware
- 1 12-inch skillet
Instructions
Note
We developed this recipe with beans that were about 1/4 inch wide. If your haricots verts are skinnier, decrease the water to 3 tablespoons and decrease the covered cooking time to 2 minutes.
Step 2
Arrange haricots verts in even layer in 12-inch skillet. Add water and sprinkle evenly with salt. Cook over medium-high heat until water is sizzling. Cover and continue to cook until beans are bright green and crisp tender, about 3 minutes longer, tossing beans twice during cooking. Reduce heat to medium. Add unsalted butter and minced shallot and continue to cook, uncovered, tossing beans frequently, until water has evaporated, about 1 minute longer. Season with salt to taste, and serve.
