- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 shallots, finely minced, about 4 tablespoons
- 14 ounces (4 cups | 400 g) green beans, trimmed and halved

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a nonstick saute pan over medium heat and sweat the shallots for 2-3 minutes. Add the beans, chicken broth, vegetable broth, or water along with the savory. Let the liquid come to a simmer, cover the pan with a lid, and let the beans cook over low heat for about 10 minutes until most of the braising liquid has disappeared (you might want to braise them longer if you prefer them very tender). Then remove the lid and add the sugar and butter. Season to taste with salt.
