Name: Sauteed Green Beans with Parmesan Crisps
Prep time: 20 min

Total time: 45 min
Yield: 6
Ingredients: 1 1/2 pounds fresh green beans (trimmed); 2 tablespoons unsalted butter; 1 tablespoon olive oil; 3 large shallots (thinly sliced); 2 garlic cloves (minced); 1 14 1/2-ounce can diced tomatoes; 1/4 cup dry white wine; 2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil; Salt and freshly ground black pepper; Parmesan Crisps (recipe follows); 1/2 cup grated Parmesan

This is my go-to green bean side dish: wine, tomatoes and sauteed shallots give the beans tons of bright flavor, and Parmesan crisps add a great crunch.

Ingredients

For The Green Beans:

1 1/2 pounds fresh green beans (trimmed)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 large shallots (thinly sliced)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
1 14 1/2-ounce can diced tomatoes
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Parmesan Crisps (recipe follows)

For The Parmesan Crisps:

1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Instructions

Cook the green beans in a large pot of boiling water until just crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water. Drain well, set aside.
Melt the butter and oil in a heavy, large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and saute until tender, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Add the beans and cook until the juices evaporate and the beans are almost tender, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Stir in the wine and basil. Simmer 2 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl, and serve.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Pour a heaping tablespoon of Parmesan onto a silicone or parchment lined baking sheet and lightly pat down. A silicone baking sheet is highly recommended. Repeat with the remaining cheese, spacing the spoonfuls about a 1/2-inch apart.
Bake for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden and crisp. Cool.
