Stovetop method
Add 2 tbs butter to this recipe, see below, or if you are feeling particularly decadent, bacon fat. Steam beans until barely tender, remove and shock in a bowl with ice water to halt cooking, drain. Melt 2 tbs butter in a pan, add shallots and garlic and stir until soft and lightly brown. Add beans back into pan, stir gently and season. Add parsley mix and heat through.
