Green Beans with Crispy Shallots


Makes about 4-6 side-servings
1 bag fresh green beans, washed and trimmed
1 shallot, sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it starts to shimmer. Toss in the sliced shallot and season with salt. Cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the green beans to the skillet and season with a little more salt, and pepper. Toss to coat in the oil and shallots. Cook until green beans are tender but still slightly crisp.

*Another super easy, but super impressive side dish! I love the flavor of shallots, and the depth they add to plain old green beans. This dish takes literally minutes to make and is a colorful addition to your Thanksgiving feast. I would stay away from using frozen green beans for this. While they would work, it's just not the same as fresh. Some supermarkets even have bags of green beans already washed and trimmed for you! Give this veggie side dish a try - you will not be disappointed.

Whoever trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf. Proverbs 11:28
