Day 3 Haricot Verts

Haricot Vets with Mustard Vinaigrette

4 ounces rustic whole wheat bread, cut into 1/2 cubes
1 1/2 pounds haricort verts
2 minced shallots
1 Tablespoon whole grain mustard
1 Tablespoon Red Wine
1/4 extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 cup fresh dill
1/4 teaspoon salt

Always use Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) for the best flavor

1. Preheat oven to 350.  Arrange bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast till golden brown.

2. Haricot verts are smaller than regular green beans and the ends do not need to be cut off.   In a large pot of salted water, cook beans until tender crisp. Drain, return to pot.

3.  In a medium skillet, mix together shallot, mustard and wine.  Whisk in oil in a slow steady stream.  Heat mixture, whisking till hot.

4. Toss beans with vinaigrette, croutons and dill. Season with salt.

Goes well with Leek Risotto.
