Excellent recipe!! This is a regular in our dinner rotation. So easy and very flavorful. Sometimes I add minced garlic with the shallots. Great for guests also.

LOVE this recipe. Sounds so easy and simple (and it is), but has a wonderful flavor and boiling the beans first definitely makes them perfectly tender. Yum!
