Green Beans With Shallot Dressing Recipe

Green Beans With Shallot Dressing Recipe

  • 1 slice bacon
  • 1/2 pound thin French green beans (haricots verts)
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
  • 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon bacon drippings
  • 1 tablespoon minced shallot
  1. Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slice on a paper towel-lined plate. Let cool and crumble bacon. Reserve 1 teaspoon of bacon drippings.
  2. Place a steamer insert into a saucepan, and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Cover, and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Add the green beans, recover, and steam until just tender, 3 minutes.
  3. Whisk together olive oil, Dijon-style mustard, vinegar, bacon drippings, and shallot in a bowl. Toss hot, steamed green beans in a bowl with the dressing and crumbled bacon, and serve.
