Haricots Verts Almondine Recipe I Made

Looks great Gris. I'll have to try that out when I can get my hands on some fresh beans.

Thought about garlic, but after having them, the shallots were perfect. Also thought about crumbled bacon or pancetta. Good side. Used the haricots verts from Sam's.

I agree that they're underutilized. I love them, but forget to use them sometimes.

Classic beurre blanc demands shallots, but other things could also very well use this delicious goodness.

I make this often. Solid recipe.

I had two pounds of beans and it didn't really need as much as called for, but for that amount, I didn't find it to be too much at all. It wasn't overdosed. You could skip the butter and just use olive oil if you want or just toss everything together in a skillet with no fat at all and rely on the other flavors. I think it's a recipe that you can tinker with to suit your desires.

Pine nuts or walnuts would also be good with this. It's a basic recipe. You can change it up.
