1
Trim the Haricots Verts
Rinse the haricots verts under cold water. Using a sharp knife, trim the ends of the beans and discard the ends.
2
Prepare Garlic and Shallots
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Peel the shallot and dice it into small pieces.

3
Blanch the Haricots Verts
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the haricots verts and blanch for about 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
4
Sauté the Aromatics
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and diced shallots. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they are fragrant and the shallots are translucent.
5
Combine and Season
Add the blanched haricots verts to the skillet with the sautéed garlic and shallots. Toss well to combine. Season with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

6
Plate and Serve
Transfer the haricots verts to a serving dish. Garnish with additional lemon zest or fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm.
