Caramelized Onion Green Beans

Santa’s Recipes for a Great Christmas 5^th Edition, p. 36

1 T. extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)

1 T. butter

1 large onion, sliced

1 ½ pounds fresh green beans, trimmed

Salt and pepper

All trimmed and ready to go!

In a medium size skillet over medium-high heat, heat the EVOO and butter and add the onion to the pan. Let cook until light brown and caramelized, about 20 minutes.

I burned mine a little. But they were still good!

While the onions are caramelizing, cook the green beans for 5 minutes in 1 inch of boiling water, covered. Drain the beans and toss them in the skillet with the finished onions Season with salt and pepper and toss until combined and hot.

Ready for action!

My Rating: 4/5 "This is damn good for all it's nothing but vegetables. The beans stay nice and crisp and satisfying to chew, and the flavor of the onions is a great complement to them. A great, slightly sweet accompaniment to whatever main dish you might have cooked up!"
