Ingredients:

2 pounds Haricots Verts or slender Green Beans, ends trimmed
1 pound medium-sized Shallots
2 Tbsp butter or Earth Balance
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
0.25 tsp dried Thyme
Salt and Pepper, to taste

Directions:

You’ll really want to find fresh thin beans for this recipe.
Cook the haricots verts in boiling salt water until tender, about 4 minutes (or a little longer if the beans are thicker).
Drain and transfer to a bowl of ice water to cool.
Drain well, pat dry, and set aside.
Cut off and discard ends from shallots.
Cut shallots lengthwise in half, then remove peel with paring knife.
Melt the butter with the oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
Add shallots and sauté for 1 minute.
Reduce heat to medium-low.
Sauté until shallots are browned and tender (about 20 minutes).
Sprinkle with thyme.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Add haricots verts to shallots in skillet and stir over medium-high heat until heated through (about 6 minutes).
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Transfer to a bowl and serve.
