This simple green bean dish gets a bit of a kick from jalapeno pepper. If you don't like things too spicy, reduce the amount of jalapeno by half—or eliminate it completely. —Deirdre Cox, Kansas City, Missouri
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 jalapeno pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 shallot, thinly sliced
- 1 pound fresh green beans, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
