Directions
Dijon Maple Sauce
1In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, mustard, maple syrup, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Add the green beans and pecans and toss to combine.
2Heat oven to 400º F. Spread the pecans on a rimmed baking sheet and bake, tossing once, until toasted, 6 to 8 minutes. Let cool, then roughly chop.
3Blanch green beans in a large stock pot of salted boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain and transfer beans to a large bowl of ice water.
4Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add shallots, and sauté for 1 minute. Add beans and continue to sauté until beans are crisp-tender. Add the Dijon Maple Sauce and stir to evenly coat the beans. Sprinkle with pecans and serve.
