2. In a small bowl (seperate from the one the green beans are in) wisk all ingredients except for the olive oil. When all are mixed well pour olive oil in the bowl wisking continuously until the oil is well blended into the mixture.
3. When the sauce is done pour over the beans, then "toss" the beans (salad tongs work the best). Being sure to evenly coat the beans.

This was delicious! Instead of chopping the garlic, I grated a large clove using a microplane (I was worried about chunks of raw garlic). Other than that I stuck to the recipe and it was a big hit with both me and my husband. I'll definitely be making this again. I think this would also be a great sauce to pour over steak. Thanks for the recipe!

I used frozen green beans for this. The flavor was nice, but it was so "thin" that it didn't really cling to the beans. I also thought it needed just a touch of sweetness to balance it out. To remedy these issues, I added about 2 tsp of honey and heated the mixture. The honey added that small touch of sweetness and helped make the sauce more of a glaze. Thanx for posting. I'll make these again with the added honey.
