Green Beans with Shallots

Our latest CSA pick up came with a pound of fresh green beans! Finally, we're starting to get some fresh vegetables besides greens. (The abnormally cold winter set delayed the vegetables growth but we've been assured the remaining produce is almost ready!) I was looking for a simple recipe that wouldn't take away from the fresh flavor of the green beans. After browsing tons of ideas, I threw this one together. The shallot was a nice addition to the veggie without being overpowering. I really enjoyed this side!

Ingredients
1 lb fresh green beans, rinsed and trimmed
1 shallot, finely chopped
1-2 tbsp butter
salt
pepper

Directions
1. Cook green beans in boiling water for 10-15 minutes until tender. Drain.

2. Add butter to a skillet over medium heat until melted.

3. Add shallots and saute approximately 3 minutes, until tender.

4. Add green beans and salt and pepper to taste. Toss green beans in butter and saute until warmed through. Enjoy!
