Ingredients

4 servings

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or unsalted butter
2 large shallots, (thinly sliced)
½ cup water
12 oz French string beans (haricots verts), trimmed
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch sugar

Steps

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, about 8 minutes. Do not brown.
Add the beans, salt, pepper and water; bring to a boil. Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 8 minutes.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to high. Cook, stirring frequently, until the liquid is evaporated, the beans are tender, and the shallots are jammy, about 6 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar. Serve warm.
