Instructions

Bring a pot of water to a boil and season the water with some salt.

Boil the beans on high heart for 4 minutes then drain and set aside.

Return the (empty) pot to medium heat and add the butter, when it’s melted add the shallots and season lightly with salt and pepper.

Sauté the shallots on medium until soft and translucent; about 5 minutes.

Whisk together the milk and flour and then add it to the pan, cook until it has thickened.

Stir in the grainy Dijon mustard.

Taste and adjust seasoning.

Notes

You can use white flour if you don’t have whole wheat flour on hand.
Thin out the sauce with more milk if it thickens too much for you.
