Sandy D Amato's Sauteed Green Beans With Shallots And Nutmeg

Found this in the local paper as one of the best recipes of 2007. wanted to save to try when i get shallots from my csa this summer. prep time is an estimate.

Steps

Remove stem ends from beans , put beans in a bowl and cover with water.
Set aside until water comes to room temperature.
Drain beans , then cook in a gallon of boiling salted water until done , 3 to 5 minutes depending on thickness.
Beans are done when they still have a slight raw flavor but are crisp and bright green.
As soon as beans are done , remove from pot and shock in ice water.
Drain , and if desired , refrigerate until ready to use.
To prepare: place beans and remaining ingredients in a large saute pan and place over medium-high heat.
Saute , stirring occasionally , until water is evaporated and butter coats beans and cooks shallots , about 2 minutes.
Continue sauteing 1 to 2 minutes or until beans are heated through.
Adjust seasoning to taste ans serve.
