Ingredients
|
|
1 1/2 pound(s) uncooked green snap beans, fresh, trimmed
|
|
|
2 tsp olive oil
|
|
|
6 medium uncooked shallot(s), peeled and thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
|
|
|
2 Tbsp fresh parsley, fresh, chopped
|
|
|
2 1/2 tsp lemon zest
|
|
|
1/2 tsp minced garlic
|
|
|
1/4 tsp table salt
|
|
|
1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
|
Instructions
- Heat a large pot of water to a simmer. Place green beans in a steamer and steam over simmering water until tender, about 5 minutes. Run steamed green beans under cold running water for 30 seconds to stop cooking; set aside.
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet. Add shallots and cook, stirring often (and adding a little water to prevent sticking if necessary), until golden and tender, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, to make gremolata, combine parsley, lemon zest and garlic in a small bowl.
- Add green beans to skillet; toss over medium heat until heated through. Season with salt and pepper; toss to mix and coat.
- Place green beans in a serving bowl or platter and sprinkle with gremolata. Yields about 3/4 cup of green beans and 1 teaspoon of gremolata per serving.
Notes- You can steam the green beans 1 day ahead and store them in a zip-top bag in the refrigerator.

I made these for my family for Easter and they were a huge hit! And very easy to make!!
Delicious! I served this with my gourmet turky diner and got tons of complments!
This is one of my family's favorite veggie sides. I pared it down to just the beans and shallots and it's a hit every time!
Loved it! Great taste. The gremolata was a great addition to this recipe. It added a nic zesty taste.
