Tarragon Green Beans

The light and delicate anise-flavor of tarragon offers a delicious complement to this simple combination of green beans, shallots, and butter.

Directions

Parboil the beans in salted water until tender to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain.

Sauté the shallots in butter until tender, add the beans, and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until warm.

Stir in the chopped tarragon, season with salt and pepper, and serve.
