The carmelized shallots with the pine nuts are a wonderful addition to the beans. I didn't have any garlic paste so I added a large clove garlic very finely squeezed.2 Oct 2015 Great Bean recipe - This is definitely a step up for the green bean. Wonderful flavour. While I was steaming the beans I got the shallot/pine nut sauce ready and dropped the hot cooked beans right into the skillet with the sauce. For the garlic paste I used ovn roasted garlic cloves. I know this is a side dish that I will make again

This is going to be our Thanksgiving vegie from now on. We love green beans, but not the traditional mushroom soup thing, so this was a welcome addition to our turkey dinner. Easy to do. I steamed the beans early in the day and put them in the cold water and set them aside. Then easy to finish later. Great combination of flavors, too.
