Preparation steps

1.

Rinse beans, blanch for 4-5 minutes in boiling salted water, rinse with cold water and drain. Peel and finely chop shallot and garlic. Rinse lemon in hot water, juice half of a lemon and grate zest from another half. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a pan and saute shallot and garlic. Add rice and continue sauteeing until rice is translucent.
