  • Yield Serves 8

Ingredients

    • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
    • 1 large shallot, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
    • 2 pounds green beans, trimmed
    • 1/2 cup dry white wine
    • 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh tarragon, plus sprigs for garnish
    • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

  1. Melt butter in a large, high-sided skillet over medium heat. Add shallot; cook, stirring constantly, until soft and translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add beans, and gently toss to coat with shallot mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes.
  2. Add wine. Raise heat to medium-high; cook, stirring often, 12 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, and cook until beans are tender, 3 to 5 minutes more. Stir in tarragon, and season with salt and pepper. Garnish with tarragon sprigs.
