- Wash beans in cold water. Trim ends of beans, either using a sharp knife or snap them off.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add butter and olive oil. Add shallots and saute for 30 seconds.
- Add beans, sprinkle with thyme, salt, and pepper, and cover. Cook for 3-4 minutes, shaking pan once in a while to prevent them from burning or sticking. Check to see if tender: if not, recover and cook until desired doneness. (They should still have snap, but rawness should be cooked out.).
