Found this in the local paper as one of the best recipes of 2007. Wanted to save to try when I get shallots from my CSA this summer. Prep time is an estimate.

SAUTEED GREEN BEANS WITH SHALLOTS
This is great to make at Thanksgiving...it tastes as good at room temperature as it does when it is hot, so you can move it off the stove to make room for more cooking! It's also quick to make, so its perfect for weeknight dinners. From Southern Living, but altered to my tastes.

GREEN BEANS AND GREENS WITH FRIED SHALLOTS
These delightfully al dente green beans are a quick-cooking nod to the green bean casserole. There is no cream of mushroom soup, but there are fried shallots. Torn leafy greens, briefly sautéed with a bit of butter and a few melted anchovies (which can be omitted for vegetarians), are added to the beans to wilt at the last minute for a very green-on-green side. Depending on what else you're serving, this could almost count as a salad. Be sure to finish with plenty of acid and flaky salt.

Steps:
- Heat oil and shallots in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, swirling the skillet occasionally, until shallots are lightly browned and starting to crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer shallots to a paper towel; season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer half of the oil from the pan to a small bowl. Return the skillet to medium-high heat, and add green beans. Season with salt and pepper and cook, without tossing, until lightly charred and blistered on one side, 3 to 4 minutes. Give them a toss, and cook, another 3 to 4 minutes, until just tender and cooked through.
- Add butter and anchovies, and season with salt and pepper. Add kale, and toss to coat until greens are wilted and tender and butter is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and add vinegar, tossing to coat. Season with salt, pepper and more vinegar, if needed.
- Transfer to a large bowl or platter and drizzle with reserved shallot oil. Scatter with fried shallots and flaky salt, and serve.

Steps:
- Remove stem ends from beans. Put beans in a bowl and cover with warm water. Set aside until water comes to room temperature. Drain beans, then cook in a gallon of boiling salted water until done, 3 to 5 minutes depending on thickness. Beans are done when they still have a slight raw flavor but are crisp and bright green. As soon as beans are done, remove from pot and shock in ice water. Drain and, if desired, refrigerate until ready to use. To prepare: Place beans and remaining ingredients in a large sauté pan and place over medium-high heat. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until water is evaporated and butter coats beans and cooks shallots, about two minutes. Continue sautéing 1 to 2 minutes (possibly longer if beans are cold from the refrigerator) or until beans are heated through. Adjust seasoning to taste and serve.
Tips:
- Choose fresh green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and crisp. Avoid beans that are wilted or have brown spots.
- Trim the beans: Cut off the ends of the beans. You can also remove the strings from the beans by running a knife down the side of each bean.
- Blanch the beans: This will help to preserve their color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp. Drain the beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Use good quality shallots: Shallots add a lot of flavor to this dish, so it's important to use good quality shallots. Look for shallots that are firm and have no signs of sprouting.
- Don't overcook the shallots: Shallots should be cooked until they are softened but not browned. If you overcook the shallots, they will lose their flavor.
- Use freshly grated nutmeg: Freshly grated nutmeg has a much more intense flavor than pre-ground nutmeg. If you don't have a nutmeg grater, you can use a microplane zester.
- Season to taste: Be sure to season the beans with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
Conclusion:
Sautéed green beans with shallots and nutmeg is a simple but flavorful side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. The beans are tender-crisp, the shallots are sweet and savory, and the nutmeg adds a warm, nutty flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
