French Cut Green Beans with Shallots

The time-consuming “french cut” takes just seconds

with a Cuisinart® food processor.

Makes 6 servings

Preparation: 15 - 20 minutes

1 675g fresh green beans, trimmed,

cut to fit feed tube horizontally

3 large shallots, peeled,

cut into 2.5cm pieces

1-1/2 tablespoons olive oil

6 tablespoons water

2-1/4 teaspoons balsamic vinegar *

1/4 teaspoon white pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt

Insert the slicing disc. Place beans horizontally in large feed tube and process, using light

pressure. Remove and reserve.

Insert metal blade. Process shallots until finely chopped, about 5 seconds.

Warm oil in a 3.5 litre sauté pan over medium heat. Add chopped shallots and sauté until soft

but not browned, about 2 minutes. Add green beans and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes. Add water

and reduce heat to low. Cover pan and cook until crisp tender, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Remove from heat and add vinegar. Season with pepper and salt. Serve warm.

* Substitute a fruit flavoured vinegar for a change of flavour.
