GREEN BEANS WITH SHALLOTS AND BALSAMIC VINEGAR
1 pound green beans
4 tablespoons butter
1 large shallot, minced
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
freshly ground black pepper
Top and tail beans and leave them whole unless they are very large. In that case, cut them diagonally into 1-inch pieces. Drop into a large pot of boiling, salted water and cook just until they lose their raw taste - 4 to 5 minutes. Immediately drain and run cold water over to stop the cooking. These can be done well ahead and kept at room temperature.
TO SERVE:
Put 1 tablespoon of butter in a frying pan set over medium heat. Saute shallot for a couple of minutes, then toss beans into the mixture.
As you cook them, put the remaining butter and vinegar in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the butter browns - 2 to 3 minutes. Immediately stir into the beans, sprinkle with pepper, and serve.
Servings: 4
