I made this with 5 ounces of beans for 2 of us. I mixed the other ingredients together and then just added an amount that worked with the amount of beans that I had. Very good flavor. I deep-fried the shallots and that worked great. I couldn't see having them raw.

Excellent dish! I used 2lbs fresh picked beans from the garden. I doubled everything in the sauce except for shallot as I only had one. Will make again.
