Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 lb green beans, trimmed
2/3 cup vegetable oil
6 oz shallots (5 medium), thinly sliced crosswise and separated into rings
1 small fresh Thai or serrano chile (2 1/4 inches long; preferably red), thinly sliced crosswise
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint

Steps:

  • Cook beans in a 4- to 5-quart pot of boiling salted water , uncovered, until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain beans in a colander.
  • Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then fry shallots in 3 batches, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per batch (watch carefully; shallots burn easily). Transfer shallots quickly as browned with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. (Shallots will become crisp as they cool.)
  • Discard all but about 1 tablespoon oil from skillet, then cook chile over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add beans and salt and toss with tongs until heated through. Remove from heat and add fried shallots and mint, tossing to combine.

Green beans were a bit bland. Maybe I should have added more salt or pepper?

The shallots burned! I think I used too high of heat.

Not sure what went wrong, but my green beans turned out soggy. Maybe I didn't cook them long enough?

I'm not usually a fan of green beans, but this recipe changed my mind. The shallots and chile gave them a nice kick, and the mint was a great addition.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover green beans. I added a few extra shallots and chiles, and it turned out perfect.
