Green Beans With Caramelized Shallots image

This is a Weight Watchers recipe that I printed off. It sounds nice like a healthy side dish. The recipe calls for fresh green beans but I don't see why it wouldn't work with a good quality of frozen.

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb green beans, trimmed
1 tablespoon light butter
4 medium shallots, thinly sliced
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Rinse the green beans and steam over boiling water until crisp tender, about 5 minutes.
  • These can also be placed in a microwave safe dish and microwaved 4 to 5 minutes or again until crisp tender.
  • Over medium heat, melt butter in a nonstick skillet; add shallots.
  • Cook stirring often until golden brown, approximately 5 minutes (if needed add a touch of water to prevent burning).
