Green Bean Vinaigrette

In keeping with my tradition of quick and easy recipes, this is another qualifier.  I can quite comfortably polish off all the beans by myself in one sitting.  It does help that Pete says they are squeaky and steers clear of them. 🙂  If you want to get fancy, you could throw a few toasted flaked almonds over the top.

Ingredients

350g fresh green beans
45ml olive oil
30ml red wine vinegar
1 garlic clove crushed
¼ tsp brown sugar
Ground salt and pepper to taste

Method

1. Blanch or steam the beans until tender.
2. Mix all of the other ingredients and pour over the beans while they are still hot.
3. Allow to marinate for an hour or more spooning the vinaigrette over the beans a couple of times.

So tasty with a tender piece of steak
