Shallot + Garlic Green Beans

Delicate shallots and savoury garlic with rich olive oil and salty butter make these beans an irresistible side dish that works with just about any dinner. I love using fresh green beans for this dish but frozen also work well the trick is not to overcook them they should be tender but not mushy.

The white and black pepper add a depth to this side dish, using sea salt is a must as it gives a wonderful salty briny taste that works well with the fresh clean flavour of the green beans.
