String beans and shallots | Jacques Pépin Cooking At Home | KQED
Jacques Pépin shows us a tasty way to prepare string beans that is neither too little (blanching) or too much (mushy). As usual, you'll discover clever and time-saving techniques for peeling and chopping along the way. Boil the string beans in salted water for just about 6 minutes so they're still slightly crunchy. Sautee chopped shallot in butter with a splash of oil (Yes, you heard that right, both butter and oil. The oil will prevent the butter from burning). Make sure to cool your string beans before introducing them to the skillet. Sautee and serve.
What you'll need:
8 oz string beans, salt, pepper, 1 shallot
