Instructions

1. Melt the chicken schmaltz in a large heavy-bottom pan over medium heat then add the sliced shallots and cook for 15 minutes, stirring often so the shallots don’t burn.
2. While the shallots are cooking, bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat then add the green beans and cook for 4-5 minutes. Transfer the green beans to a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and retain the green color of the beans.
3. Dry the green beans and place on a serving tray. Pour the fried shallots over the top of the green beans then sprinkle with raw pumpkin seeds and lemon zest.
