Ingredients
Uncooked green snap beans
1½ pound(s), fresh, trimmed
Olive oil
2 tsp(s)
Shallots
6 medium, peeled and thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
Fresh parsley

Minced garlic

Table salt

Instructions
1
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.
2
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.
3
Meanwhile, to make gremolata, combine parsley, lemon zest and garlic in a small bowl.
4
Add green beans to skillet; toss over medium heat until heated through. Season with salt and pepper; toss to mix and coat.
5
Place green beans in a serving bowl or platter and sprinkle with gremolata. Yields about 1 cup of green beans and 1 teaspoon of gremolata per serving.
