Pork Cutlets With Smothered Parmesan Green Beans

1. 1

   Heat butter and 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until foam subsides. Cook shallots and garlic with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper, stirring occasionally, until pale golden, about 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Add wine and boil until reduced by half. Add cream, 1/2 cup water, sage, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper and bring just to a boil. Add green beans and simmer, tightly covered, stirring occasionally, until beans are tender and liquid is slightly thickened, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and keep warm, covered.

3. 3

   Clean skillet, then heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Pat pork dry and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, then cook, turning once, until lightly browned and just cooked through, about 4 minutes total. Transfer pork to a plate. Pour off oil in skillet. Return skillet to medium-high heat and add remaining tablespoon water, stirring and scraping up brown bits. Stir in bean mixture and meat juices from plate and heat over medium heat. Stir in parmesan.
