Green Beans with Caramelized Shallots – A Family Favorite

This is one of the very first vegetable side dishes I learned to make in my early 20s. My (now) in-laws saw the recipe on Rachel Ray and made it for us (I can’t seem to find the exact recipe to link). Sean and I instantly fell in love with it’s simple yet satisfying flavor and have been making it ever since.
