1 1/2 lbs. green beans, trimmed
1 T. kosher salt
water, for boiling
2-3 T. olive oil
1 shallot, or 1/4 small onion, sliced
3 garlic cloves, sliced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, different varieties, halved
salt and pepper
1/2 lemon
fresh herbs, such as thyme, parsley, dill or oregano
feta cheese
Directions
Salt the water with a tablespoon of salt, and once the water is boiling, add the beans and cook for 2-3 minutes.
While the beans are cooking, fill a large bowl with cold water and ice. When the beans are done cooking, transfer them immediately to the ice bath to stop the cooking process & preserve their bright green color.
Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil. Add the shallot and sauté until golden, about 3 minutes,
Turn the heat to medium high and remove the beans with tongs, draining off the water. Toss with the oil and add the garlic and tomatoes.
Season with a pinch of salt & pepper. Cook until beginning to blacken & serve with a squeeze of lemon and a handful of cheese and herbs.
