  1. I made for my Mom`s and Sisters Birthdays.Not one bean left! I did use red onions in place of shallots. Sorry the photo is not true. I took a quick photo placing just a bit of the crispy onions on top. I didn't want them to get soggy before bringing them to the party! Calories from fat should be taken into considerations. Because if you fry high and quick they won't absorb all the oil. Which most is discarded. Thanks to you veg tag March.
     
  2. I sauteed the shallots in olive oil on medium heat. Although they weren't as crispy, they weren't as oily either. (To cut down on oil, maybe next time I could bake the shallots instead to crisp...) Loved the combination of ingredients (all favorites). Fresh, organic green beans which were steamed and olive oil for vegetable. Easy and perfect with our pasta main dish. Reviewed for Veg Tag/May.
