Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Haricots verts (French green beans), trimmed
- 2 medium Shallots, finely minced
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add the haricots verts to the boiling water and blanch for 2-3 minutes, or until bright green and tender-crisp.
Drain the haricots verts and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain and set aside.
In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced shallots to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, fresh thyme, salt, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of water. Mix well and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Remove the skillet from heat and taste the vinaigrette, adjusting seasoning if necessary.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the haricots verts with the warm shallot vinaigrette until evenly coated.
Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately. Enjoy!
