About two minutes then set aside.Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add shallots and cook for 3 minutes, stirring often. Add chestnuts and garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add broth, bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half, stirring occasionally.Add beans to shallot mixture and toss well until heated thorough, about 2 minutes. Add lemon juice, salt and peppter and remove from heat. Serve hot.Note: CE states that you can blanch the green beans up to two days before the day to be further cooked. After draining from ice bath, put in a zip top bag along with a paper towel to absorb moisture. Refrigerate. When ready to further the recipe, bring them back to room temperature before continuing.Note: The chestunuts is a "rough" estimate as SP didn't have the exact thing I was looking for.Number of Servings: 10Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user LABYRINTH.
