Garlicky Green Beans with Shallots
Ingredients:
- 3/4 pound fresh green beans
- 10 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 shallot (2 bulbs/cloves)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (possibly more if needed)
- 1/4 cup fresh, chopped Italian (flat leaf) parsley
- Salt to taste
Directions:
- Place the oil and the green beans in a skillet that has a lid. Begin cooking with the lid on.
- While the green beans cook, chop the garlic and shallots, then add them to the skillet.
- Cook with lid on, but stir frequently. Cook until the beans reach the level of doneness you like.
- At the very end, just before you turn off the heat, stir in the parsley.
(Makes 4 servings)
Note: The garlic and shallots should become very brown. Not burnt, but very brown. Keep the heat more at the medium level to avoid burning and add oil if necessary.
