I was so nervous making this. I thought that the vinegar would overwhelm the beans. I wasn't prepared for the magic that happened between the lone TBSP of oil, sweet caramelized shallots, a pinch of salt and my sweet, garden snap beans. And it was magic. We added the pepper at the table. Next year shallots are going in the garden--right next to the beans!

I'm sitting here trying to figure out how I missed this during the Zaar World Tour. The flavors are just wonderful and such a bright way to prepare one o my favorite veggies. Could not find freh haricots verts but managed to hunt down some thin tender green beans. Betting these would work with a high quality frozen haricots verts and infact make them taste rather fresh. Was planning to take pictures of the leftovers but there were none. Thanks Lauralie!

I found this recipe from the went to the market game and what a find. I can't believe No one has made or reviewed this recipe. With pac starting I wanted to make these and man oh man, THESE are awesome lauralie41, I loved the taste of the red wine vinegar in them.. This is a hit with the family and one that I will use again and again. I give this recipe 5 stars plus. If you want something different for your family then the usual "green beans" you will love this recipe. Thanks again.. Great recipe!!

Delicious! I too was afraid the vinegar would overpower the dish but it was fantastic. I was out of red wine vinegar so I used white wine vinegar and a splash of balsamic. Will definitely make this again, thanks!

These were a very tasty addition to my French inspired dinner table! I loved the vinegar addition, and we will have these again!

Wonderful, beautiful, simple and delicious. This recipe really takes me back to my travels in France, and the rustic food that is so loved. This is real french food!! Simple and delicious.

Couldn't find fresh haricots verts but I did find thin green beans. I was afraid the vinegar would overwhelm the beans, but almost all of it cooked off before the beans even got added in. Actually, I think more than it was supposed to and I need to cook over medium rather than medium high heat next time. We thought there was too much pepper and not enough salt, so I would switch the amounts on those next time, but tasty overall. Thanks for sharing.

This was not bad at all. Not outstanding, but not bad. I had regular green beans (the smallest I could find), and par boiled them only for one minute, to set the color (this is my normal method, and gets to the doneness that we like). You need to add a mention in step two for the oil. Most of us will pick up on that, but for the novice cook, please mention it. I liked how the vinegar reduced down nearly to a syrupy consistancy, but felt that it needed something more... garlic, herbs, bacon, I'm not really sure what, but it was missing something that would really give it that wow! factor. This is a good starting point, but I will definatley experiment rather than just using the recipe as written. Thanks for posting! Made for ZWT by one of the Cooks with Dirty Faces.
