Ingredients:
1 pound green beans
sea salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 shallots, minced
1 yellow tomato, diced
2 teaspoons finely chopped lemon thyme
vinegar of choice

Directions:

  1. Cut the tips off the green beans then boil them in plenty of salted water, uncovered, until tender-firm, about 5 minutes. Taste to make sure: beans can take a while depending on their size.
  2. While they are cooking, melt the butter and olive oil in a sauté pan. Add the shallots and cook over medium heat for 2 minutes, then add the thyme and tomatoes.
  3. Drain the beans as soon as they are done, add them to the pan and cook briefly, coating them with the sauce. Season with a few drops of vinegar and serve warm.
