I have a perfect side dish as my newest "Fast & Fresh" entry.
My Balsamic Glazed Green Beans are the perfect seasonal side dish. They compliment most every dish, and utilize fresh green beans, straight from the farmer's market (or grocery store!). I recently made them with my Lemon Cilantro Chicken Scaloppini and they were great together.
The fresh seasonal ingredients, minimal preparation, and quick cooking time qualify these as "Fast & Fresh"!
I adore this side dish, but I'm partial to green beans. I'm sure that you and your families will enjoy this, and possibly become a favorite of your too!
Tell me, what is your favorite way to use green beans?
Balsamic Glazed Green Beans
serves 4-6
3/4 lb fresh green beans
1 T. butter
3 T. shallots, minced
2 T. garlic, minced
1/4 c balsamic vinegar
salt & pepper
Blanch 3/4 lb. of fresh green beans in boiling water for 4-5 minutes, until tender crisp. Remove from water. While beans are cooking melt 1 T. butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 3 T. minced shallots and 2 T. of minced garlic. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add 1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing to thicken slightly. Add green beans and toss to coat. Serve.
