French Cut Green Beans with Shallots
The time-consuming “french cut” takes just seconds
with a Cuisinart food processor.
Makes 6 servings
Preparation: 15 - 20 minutes
1-1/2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed,
cut to fit feed tube horizontally
3 large shallots, peeled,
cut into 1-inch pieces
1-1/2 tablespoons olive oil
6 tablespoons water
2-1/4 teaspoons balsamic vinegar *
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
Insert the slicing disc. Place beans horizontally in large feed tube and process, using light
pressure. Remove and reserve.
Insert metal blade. Process shallots until finely chopped, about 5 seconds.
Warm oil in a 3-1/2 quart sauté pan over medium heat. Add chopped shallots and sauté until
soft but not browned, about 2 minutes. Add green beans and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes. Add
water and reduce heat to low. Cover pan and cook until crisp tender, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Remove from heat and add vinegar. Season with pepper and salt. Serve warm.
* Substitute a fruit flavored vinegar for a change of flavor.
