Place the oil and the green beans in a large skillet that has a lid. Begin cooking with the lid on over medium heat. Cook the beans to what you consider to be al dente. (Do not cook on medium-high heat or high heat. It will burn your beans). Note that the green beans should have a texture that feels almost cooked to you.While the green beans cook, chop the garlic and shallots.
Add the shallots to the nearly cooked green beans and continue cooking until they are a light golden browned. Then toss in the garlic and continue to cook for 1 minute more. (Do not burn your garlic!!) At the very end, just before you turn off the heat, stir in the parsley.Note: The garlic and shallots should become very brown. Not burnt, but very brown. Keep the heat at a medium level to avoid burning and add oil if necessary.
