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
1½
pounds fresh green beans, trimmed,
cut to fit feed tube horizontally
3
large shallots, cut into 1-inch pieces
1½ tablespoons
olive
oil
6 tablespoons
water
2¼ teaspoons
balsamic
vinegar*
¼
teaspoon ground white pepper
¼
teaspoon kosher 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 3½-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.
