Ingredients

  • 2 pounds green beans
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 shallots, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons store-bought seasoned breadcrumbs

Directions

  1. Prepare an ice-water bath. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add green beans, and blanch until bright green, about 5 minutes. Drain, and transfer to ice-water bath. Let stand until cool. Drain, and pat dry.
