This is a fantastic recipe for green beans. I made these for our Christmas lunch this year and they were enjoyed by all. Followed the recipe exactly and it is definitely one I will be making again. Thanks!

The shallots and butter provide the perfect amount of extra spunk to make the green beans more enjoyable. This was incredibly easy and made the kitchen smell great! I halved the recipe and had no problems.
