Ingredients
- 1 pound French string beans (haricots verts), ends removed
- Kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon good olive oil
- 3 large shallots, large-diced
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Blanch the string beans in a large pot of boiling salted water for 1 1/2 minutes only. Drain immediately and immerse in a bowl of ice water.
- Heat the butter and oil in a very large saute pan (12-inch diameter) or large pot and saute the shallots on medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes, tossing occasionally, until lightly browned. Drain the string beans and add to the shallots with 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper, tossing well. Heat only until the beans are hot.
- If you’re using regular string beans, blanch them for about 3 minutes, until they’re crisp-tender.

Delicious and so easy
Super easy and delicious. Reliable recipe!
Can this be made a day ahead or will it get soft and gross?
even simple string beans will be perfect with Ina Garten. Thank you Ina fro getting even the simplest recipes to taste delicious and more importantly to be doable for non-cooks 🙂
Another hit, Ina. Delicious and so easy. Perfect for a weeknight side. Looking forward to trying it with spinach.
Wonderful and easy recipe just as it. Have prepared it 3 times so far. Rave reviews from the family. Has become a staple in our home.
Easy and delicious–classic Ina.
Love this green bean recipe. Question: Can i keep it warm in a crock pot on low heat. And add
to it as necessary? Minnimum 25 guests. Thanks
