I love string beans as it is, but the shallots gave them an extra special flavor. Blanching gave the beans just the right crunch. I will probably make string beans in this manner from now on.
best veggie side dish

Usually I do not care for green beans, fresh, frozen etc. I used the french thin green beans and this was delicious. I think I like green beans now.
good recipe

i love string beans, and this is a nice, easy way to dress them up. i saw another person mentioned lemon in their review, was lemon suppost to be included?

As usual, an excellent recipe from Ina. I made these for dinner the other night and they are really excellent. With her recipe and Giada's for tomatoes and green beans, I'm set! Thanks!
Excellent, super easy recipe

This is a great way to dress up string beans and a simple-simple recipe. I made these with regular green beans and it turned out great. Don't recall ever seeing the true french green beans in the grocery store.
Fabulous: Yes; Haricot Vert: No

This is so easy and yet so delicious. There is a difference, though, between regular green beans, which is what Ina uses in her recipes on television, and true haricot vert, which are lots thinner than the standard green bean. They are also not "widely available in grocery stores" at least not in the US, contrary to Ina's claim. Please tell her.

Great side dish for entertaining since they can be made ahead of time and just reheated with the shallots before serving.
Great summer veg

This was very good and easy. Careful with the lemon juice. If you have a large lemon, I wouldn't put all of it in. A little extra mustard (slightly more creamy) was good.
Simple, simple, simple

I always like a recipe I can memorize after the first try. Especially one that tastes as good as this. Totally easy and unintimidating. Definitely in my Recipe Box.

these green beans were simple to make and the shallots make the dish very flavorful. blanching the green beans also preserve the color and the crunch.
Wow

I don't even care for green beans that much and now I want to eat them with every dinner. Easy, too.
Fabulous!

This recipe could not be simpler, yet its flavor speaks volumes. If you've never cooked with shallots, you should definitely try this, as they lend a marvelous, earthy flavor to this dish. I find them much more flavorful and unique than other onions.
great.
