Ingredients

  • 1 T ghee
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

Instructions

  1. Fill a medium pot with water and bring it to a boil. Once the water is boiling, add the green beans to the pot. Boil for about 5 minutes. Immediately remove the green beans and place them in an ice bath. Set aside.
  2. In a large sauté pan on medium heat, add the ghee and shallots. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the shallots caramelize. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add garlic and sauté for another minute, being careful to not burn the garlic. Add the green beans, sea salt, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Sauté for an additional 3-5 minutes.
  4. Remove the pan from the heat and finish with drizzling truffle oil over the green beans and sprinkling the toasted hazelnuts on top. Serve immediately.
