1
Prepare the Haricots Verts
Trim the ends of the haricots verts and wash them thoroughly under cold water.
2
Cook the Haricots Verts
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the haricots verts and blanch them for about 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
3
Sauté Shallots
In a skillet, melt half of the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and sauté until they are translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
4
Combine Ingredients
Add the blanched haricots verts to the skillet with the sautéed shallots. Pour in the remaining melted butter (beurre monté) and toss the beans gently to coat them. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
5
Serve
Transfer the haricots verts to a serving platter and serve immediately, garnished with additional shallots if desired.
