Total Time20 minutes

Equipment

  • Nonstick Skillet with Lid

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp minced shallot
  • 3/4 lb green beans, rinsed and trimmed
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp Italian parsley, minced

Instructions

  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add olive oil, heat 30 seconds then add minced shallots. Cook shallots until soft and beginning to brown stirring frequently, about 2 minutes.
  • Add green beans, lemon zest and a large pinch of kosher salt, toss so they are well coated in both shallots and zest. Squeeze lemon over beans and cover. Reduce heat to medium low.
  • Cook until beans are tender but still have a little snap to them. This will vary depending on the thickness of the beans, mine took about 8 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and add parsley. Serve immediately.
