Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound green beans, ends trimmed
• 1 large shallot, sliced
• olive oil

Here's how to make it:

1. Put the green beans into a sauté pan with about 1/2 cup of water. Cook over medium-high heat until beans are tender and water has evaporated. You may have to add more water during the cooking process, but you want it to cook out, so don't add too much.
2. When green beans are tender and water has evaporated, add the shallot. Drizzle with olive oil. Cook, stirring often, until shallots begin to brown. Season with salt and pepper.
