Step 1

Slice shallots into thin rings then add olive oil into a skillet up to about 1” depth.

Step 2

Heat oil over medium heat and add shallots to cook for about 2-3 minutes. They should look golden in color. Using a slotted spoon, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 3

Wipe the skillet clean or grab another one and add sugar and balsamic vinegar. Cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes until the mixture has reduced by half. Stir occasionally until nice and thick.

Step 4

To the sauce, add in the butter and stir until melted.

Step 5

Add back in the beans and sauté until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 6

Remove beans to a serving tray or big bowl and garnish with bacon, shallots, and onions. Enjoy while warm!
