My friend Marly auctioned off a "Seafood Extravaganza" dinner party at an event we do in honor of our friend Tami who passed away. The dinner was at her parent's waterfront home and they served several courses including fresh caught crab and salmon. Marly and her mom spent countless hours preparing all the food, setting the lovely table on the deck and cracking bottles of wine and champagne for us to drink. The view was breathtaking, the food was delicious, and we all had a blast eating and drinking until the wee hours of the night.

With the main salmon course, they served the best veggie - String Beans with Shallots. They were some of the best green beans I've ever had. Of course I loved them though, it's an Ina recipe! This is the only preparation I use anymore when cooking fresh beans. They're in season now and popping up all over the farmers market. Give this preparation a try if you're looking for something different. My only hint on the recipe is to use way more shallots than you think you should. They cook down so small and they are so good with the beans.

Can't wait to make these greens this weekend for my family and for another dinner party one night at Marly's (hint hint!).
