Here's a great and easy way to make your green beans yummier:
-Toss green beans in boiling water (I know some people add chicken broth for flavor, but whatever)
-While that's going, peel and dice six shallots
-Add 1 tbsp butter to a pan with a lid, medium heat
-Toss shallots in when butter is melted; cover and stir occassionally
-Shallots are done when they're nice and brown (carmelized). Throw them on top of cooked green beans

If you want them to be crunchy, leave them out in the air for a few minutes. We don't have plain green beans anymore ever since I cooked this.
