GREEN BEANS WITH SHALLOTS

Category: Beans

To get a jump start, steam green beans, drain, and chill in a zip-top plastic bag.

1 1/4 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
3 tbsp butter
2 small shallots, minced
1 large tomato, chopped
1/4 tsp beef bouillon granules, salt and pepper

Arrange green beans in a steamer basket over boiling water. Cover and steam 5 to 7 minutes. Plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process; drain.

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add shallots, and saute 3 minutes or until tender. Add green beans, tomato, and next 3 ingredients. Cook 5 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Serve immediately. Serves 6
