I saw this one in a Jacques Pepin video.
I really like that you can prepare this well in advance and then finish it when you are ready to serve it.
By the way, once I have made them for dinner, I refrigerate the leftovers and then nibble on the cold green beans until they are gone. Almost like candy!
Ingredients
12 oz. fresh green beans
1 big shallot, minced
1 Tbsp olive oil*
1 Tbsp butter*
salt and pepper to taste
ice
 
*Sometimes I have put in too much oil and butter and the shallots and seasoning slide off the beans. So basically, use enough oil and butter to sauté the shallots.
Directions
Get your green beans all cleaned up.
Get a pan of boiling salted water going on the stove.
Boil the green beans about 7 minutes, but check them after about 5. 
Once they are done to your taste, pull them off the stove and immediately put them in ice water to stop the cooking.
At this point, refrigerate them if you are not going to use them right away.
When you are ready to finish the dish, heat up oil and butter in a skillet and sauté your shallots for about three or four minutes, until they are translucent.
Add the chilled green beans and toss around to get them heated up again.
Season them to taste.

🙄 Help: Seriously? You don't need any help.
🌄 Why No Pictures: Well, there ARE some pictures, here and there. But to be honest, if you need pictures showing you how to stir something, you shouldn't be cooking! And really, I find them annoying when all I want to do is look at the recipe! Also, we haven't made most of these recipes. We occasionally take pictures of the finished product when we remember!
💯 Why There Are Recipe Numbers Missing: Well, it's like this. The recipe numbers are automatically generated by the database, always using a new number for a new recipe. Over the last 20 years many recipes, mostly test recipes, have been added and then deleted, leaving only their memory and their number behind. And there was also a lot of weird stuff going on in the beginning, which messed up the order. In terms of date added, the first one is #6, then #4, #9, #10, #4, #718!!!, #2, and finally #1. Just the way databases and poor programmers work!
