Green beans are often served plain; this recipe is a nice change of pace. It's a good side dish to serve with simple broiled chicken or pork chops.

INGREDIENTS | SERVES 4

• 1 pound green beans
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 shallot, minced
• ¼ cup apricot nectar
• ⅓ cup gluten-free apricot preserves
• 2 teaspoons fresh chopped rosemary leaves
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• Pinch white pepper

1. Cook beans in a steamer until crisp-tender, about 4–5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

2. In large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add shallot; cook and stir until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes.

3. Add apricot nectar and beans; bring to a simmer. Cover pan and simmer 3–4 minutes, until beans are tender.

4. Uncover and add preserves, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir 1–2 minutes, until beans are glazed.
