- 57 g minced shallot
- 1 tsp/3 g minced garlic
- 240 mL Chicken Stock, hot
- Salt, as needed
- Ground black pepper, as needed
- 2 tbsp/30 mL walnut oil
- 85 g chopped walnuts
- 1 tbsp/3 g minced chives
- Cut the green beans on the bias, if desired.
- Heat the butter in a small rondeau or large sautoir. Add the shallots and garlic and saute over mediumhigh heat until translucent, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the green beans in an even layer. Add the stock. Season with salt and pepper.
- Bring to a simmer, cover the pan, and pan steam the beans until tender. The cooking liquid should reduce during this time and thicken slightly to coat the beans.
