Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash the tomatoes and cut them into wedges. If using fresh butterbeans, cook them according to package instructions until tender. If using canned butterbeans, drain and rinse them.

  2. 2

    Make the Shallots

    Peel and thinly slice the shallots. In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced shallots and sauté until they are golden brown and crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes and butterbeans. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, fresh basil, salt, and black pepper. Gently toss to mix everything together.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Transfer the tomato and butterbean mixture to a serving dish and top with the crispy shallots. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
