A Beloved Green-Bean Dish with a Seasonal Makeover
This bright and fresh-tasting side takes the best elements of a classic green-bean casserole and gives them a warm-weather update. You quickly cook the beans in a small amount of water then finish them in olive oil, so they are crisp-tender with a light char. Fried shallots stand in for canned, fried onions and crumbled pecorino cheese takes the place of a heavy mushroom sauce.
