Haricot Verts? What's that you say? How how Lolly's explanation of the French words: Haricot = beans. Vert = green. These beauties are longer and thinner than the green beans you may be used to and are more tender with a complex flavor.
But they are so simple to prepare!
Add the beans to a steam basket in a medium saucepan. Add enough water just to bring even to the steam basket. Cover and bring the water to a boil. Reduce heat and allow beans to steam for 5 - 6 minutes.
While the beans are steaming, very thinly slice 4 - 5 shallots. Over low heat in a small skillet add 1 T. olive oil. Add shallots and let cook until very soft and caramelized.
Add shallots over top of steamed green beans. Serve immediately.
