Jeff's Shelled Bean Recipe
2 cups fresh shelled beans
3 Tbsp olive oil
2-3 fresh basil leaves
1/3 cup chicken stock
1/2 onion
1 large clove garlic
1 Tbsp whole unsalted Butter
1 medium tomato
Sea Salt and fresh ground pepper
Soak beans in water and remove any debris that floats to top. Boil beans in salted water for 7 minutes or until just tender. Strain cooked beans and set aside. Sauté diced onions and minced garlic in olive oil until soft, DO NOT BROWN. Add beans and chicken stock simmer on med/low heat for 3 min. Add freshly chopped basil and peeled, seeded, chopped tomato. Stir briefly. Adjust seasoning, add sea salt and pepper. Top with butter and stir in.
*variation– substitute fresh thyme for basil. Add cooked chopped pancetta. Eliminate butter. Put all ingredients in a Gratin dish, top with fresh grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. Brown under broiler and serve.
