Submitted by lazyme

"A simple side dish from Bon Appetit. I usually cut back on both the oil and the amount of onions, and use fresh tarragon when I can."

Just love the flavor of these green beans!!! I made this recipe with a couple of changes, I used french style canned green beans and sweet onions, but otherwise, followed as written. DH is going to be late tonite for dinner, so I tasted the beans and then took a photo and then added them back to the pan, lol!! Congrats on your win in the football pool and sorry for the late review.
