Directions
Haricot Vert ( French Green Beans) With Bacon and Onions, This is my old time favorite green bean recipe I can have it as a meal, but my family loves it as a side dish to fish or chicken , This may be the only recipe that’s an improvement on the plain beans I also used and would recommend shallots rather than onions , SEE 12/07 UPDATE: Our local grocery stores are beginning to stock haricot vert more consistantly We had them several times in several ways while on our 2 week visit to Normandy last year Naturally, I wanted to have these for dinner IMMEDIATELY – so while the pork tenderloin and the sweet potato slices were baking, I quickly put the beans together, although I had to use packaged bacon bits since I had not thawed the bacon DH and I had a delicious, colorful, and healthy meal Since I bought a 2 pound package of haricot, we will be having this again –SOON! Thanks, Angela UPDATE 12/07: Had 2 pound bag of REAL Haricot Vert from Costco, and 10 for Christmas dinner I nuked the beans in the bag one day earlier, and blanched in ice water Dried them with paper towels and re-bagged them in plastic overnight Christmas mid-day, I coarsely chopped 1 pound of bacon, and substituted 1 cup of finely chopped shallots for the onion I sauted them together as directed, and skimmed off some of the grease When nearly ready to serve, I tried to warm everything in a large skillet, but couldn’t circulate everything too well I mixed 4 TBsp balsamic with 2 tsp sugar, added to the beans, and nuked them in a large 13×15 baking dish for 1 minute each time, and re-arranged the beans and bacon in between – total 4 minutes They were the hit of the meal ! I gave 2 single servings to 2 guests, and have JUST enough for us for dinner tonight This was just a flavorful and colorful addition to a festive meal
