Instructions
- 1
Finely chop the shallot. Trim the green beans and cut them into 1-inch pieces. Drain one carton of butter beans and set aside; keep the liquid from the second carton.
- 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped shallot and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
- 3
Add the green beans to the skillet and sauté for another 3-4 minutes until slightly tender-crisp.
- 4
Add unsalted butter to the pan and let it melt.
- 5
Deglaze the pan with dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Reduce the wine slightly.
- 6
Add both the drained and undrained butter beans to the skillet. Stir gently.
- 7
Pour in the whole milk, just enough to almost submerge the beans and vegetables. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a spirited simmer.
- 8
Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency. The natural starches from the undrained bean liquid will help thicken the sauce.
5:00 timer - 9
Stir in the whole grain mustard and heavy cream.
- 10
Season with black pepper and salt to taste, remembering that the undrained bean liquid already contains some salt.
- 11
Stir in the fresh chopped parsley just before serving.
