ingredients

118.29 ml balsamic vinegar
2 large shallots, finely chopped
59.16 ml butter, room temperature
907.18 g green beans, trimmed

directions

Combine vinegar and shallots in heavy small saucepan. Boil over medium heat until most vinegar is absorbed (about 1 tablespoon liquid should remain in pan), stirring frequently, about 6 minutes. Transfer mixture to small bowl; cool completely. Add butter; mix with fork until blended.
Cook beans in large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 6 minutes. Drain. Refresh under cold water; drain. Pat dry with paper towels. (Balsamic-shallot butter and beans can be made 1 day ahead. Cover separately; chill.)
Combine beans and balsamic-shallot butter in large nonstick skillet. Toss over medium heat until beans are heated through, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.

I enjoyed these beans....loved the balsamic vinegar in them. I'd like to try them with some mushrooms added...next time.:) Made for your win in Football Tag 2011.

Delicious! I loved the flavor profile of the dish! At first I thought the directions sounded complicated, however it was very easy to make. My daughter told me that the beans were well disguised by the balsamic vinegar reduction. Made for Summer 2010 Photo tag.

Nice simple recipe. I did steam my green beans rather than boilings and I did cook 1 garlic clove slightly mashed along with the shallots and vinegar, just to infuse a little flavor, but did not want a strong garlic taste. I removed the garlic after 1 minute. Excellent and simple!
