Les Haricorts Verts

Well, I thought I'd post an easy easy
French recipe that's practically fool-proof
and totally delicious. It's called
"Les Haricots Verts" - which means
"Green Beans".

Ingredients:
- Raw green beans, enough for 1-2 people. Like
two large handfuls. Washed and trimmed.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1/2 or 1 shallot, finely minced. I like
a little more "onion-y" taste, so I added
the whole shallot.
-Salt and pepper to taste.

Preparation:
Add the shallot, olive oil, vinegar, and dijon in a
small bowl. Whisk well to combine. Add salt and pepper,
if desired.

Steam the green beans, either in a microwave or
on the stove. I used the microwave because it was
super easy. Just put them in a ziploc bag and either
cut a corner off to let steam out or don't close it all
the way. I just nuked 'em for about 3 1/2 minutes.

Once the green beans are done, add the "dressing" and
mix until all the beans are coated evenly.
Salt and pepper them, if desired.
Serve hot!

And... voilà! C'est Les Haricots Verts!
