    When you have a lot of garden fresh green beans you start looking for interesting ways to serve them. This is an dish that looks like it took forever but is a quick throw together side if you use crispy shallots from the Asian grocer. (Subbed sour cream)

    This was delicious and I can’t wait to make it again. However, the shallots take much longer than the book suggests. Mine took 50 minutes.

    What an outstanding combination of flavors! I wanted a warm side dish so I pan-charred the green beans and tossed them with the roasted shallots and lemony crème fraîche, otherwise I followed the recipe and the whole family enjoyed it. While there are multiple components, they are easily managed and this came together in the time it took to roast potatoes and grill some sausages.
