Zesty Savory Green Beans Skillet
Believe it or not, not everyone at my Thanksgiving table is a fan of the famous Green Bean Casserole. So, I like to have an option with great flavor and pizazz, and this really fills the bill!
1 pound fresh green beans
2 teaspoon olive oil
3 large thinly sliced shallots
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
1/4 cup thinly sliced basil leaves
Lemon wedges
In a large skillet place 1/2 inch of water and bring to boil. Add green beans cover and simmer over medium low heat until tender crisp, about 8 minutes. Drain well. Heat oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and cook 2 minutes or until soft and slightly browned. Replace green beans. Sprinkle with pepper. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes or until heated through. Remove skillet from heat. Stir in lemon zest and basil. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve immediately.
