RECIPE BY Cooking Light

Slender haricots verts need little embellishment. Here they're tossed with a good dose of cherry tomatoes and mushrooms. Once it's cooked, the flavor mellows considerably. If you can't find the tiny French green beans, substitute regular green beans and increase the cook time in boiling water to five minutes to ensure they're done.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 8 ounces trimmed haricots verts (French green beans)
  • 3/4 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

I followed this recipe exactly, but tripled the amount of everything and it was so good. I made is as a pot luck side and it was the first dish gone. 

Delicious and easy

I used shiitake mushrooms because that is what I had on hand.  I probably should've cooked the beans a little longer as they were still a bit crisp, but we loved the flavors.  Will definitely make again.

Easy, quick, colorful & delicious....I drizzled Balsamic glaze over my serving as my hub is not a fan of BGlaze. This is a keeper and also would be a great side dish for company.
