Saute'ed green beans

First bring water in a pot to a boil. Then add fresh green beans and boil until tender (5-7 min)
While that is boiling saute' some shallots (or onions or garlic) in a pan of olive oil.

After boiling blanch the beans (this will stop the cooking process and leave the beans a little crisp)

Then saute' the beans in the pan for about 3 min, add lemon juice and lemon zest and cook another minute. Serve immediately.
YUM YUM!
