Green Beans with Purple Shallots and Crispy Panko

Ingredients

  • 1 lb green beans, cleaned, with ends removed

  • 3 Tbsp unsalted butter

  • ½ cup plain panko

  • 1 Tbsp Purple Shallot Slices

  • Robusta Black Peppercorns, to taste

  • Salt, to taste

Directions

  1. Boil green beans in a pot of salted water for 3-5 minutes, until crisp-tender. Drain and rinse in cold water (or plunge in ice bath).

  2. Heat butter in a pan over medium-low heat. When melted, add the shallots. Stir, about 1 minute, being careful not to burn the shallots.

  3. Add panko, salt and pepper to the pan. Stir until panko is lightly golden, 3-5 minutes.

  4. Add the drained green beans back into the pan and toss to combine and warm through, about 1 minute. Taste and adjust seasoning.

  5. Top with a bit of grated Parmesan or a little squeeze of lemon, if desired. Serve immediately.
