Ingredients:
| 1 1/2 pounds | fresh green beans, trimmed |
| 2 tablespoons | unsalted butter |
| 1 tablespoon | olive oil |
| 3 | large shallots, thinly sliced |
| 2 | garlic cloves, minced |
| 1 (14 1/2-ounce) can | diced tomato |
| 1/4 cup | dry white wine |
| 2 tablespoons | thinly sliced fresh basil |
| salt and freshly ground black pepper | |
| parmesan crisps | |
| PARMESAN CRISPS: | |
| 1/2 cup | grated parmesan |
Directions:
Cook the green beans in a large pot of boiling water until just crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water. Drain well; set aside.
Melt the butter and oil in a heavy, large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and saute until tender, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Add the beans and cook until the juices evaporate and the beans are almost tender, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Stir in the wine and basil. Simmer 2 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl, and serve.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Pour a heaping tablespoon of Parmesan onto a silicone or parchment lined baking sheet and lightly pat down. A silicone baking sheet is highly recommended. Repeat with the remaining cheese, spacing the spoonfuls about a 1/2-inch apart.
Bake for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden and crisp. Cool.
Yield: 8 to 10 crisps
