This was not bad at all. Not outstanding, but not bad. I had regular green beans (the smallest I could find), and par boiled them only for one minute, to set the color (this is my normal method, and gets to the doneness that we like). You need to add a mention in step two for the oil. Most of us will pick up on that, but for the novice cook, please mention it. I liked how the vinegar reduced down nearly to a syrupy consistancy, but felt that it needed something more... garlic, herbs, bacon, I'm not really sure what, but it was missing something that would really give it that wow! factor. This is a good starting point, but I will definatley experiment rather than just using the recipe as written. Thanks for posting! Made for ZWT by one of the Cooks with Dirty Faces.

Simply wonderful! The shallot vinaigrette was a sweet-savory accent to one of my favorite vegetables. For fun, I replaced olive oil with white truffle oil and sprinkled fresh thyme and chives on top. It all worked together. Thank you for sharing this recipe, Lauralie. Made as "Slice of Lime Babe" of the Bodacious Brickhouse Babes for ZWT5 French region.
