Guacamole

Cerignola olives marinated in garlic rosemary olive oil

Olives

Savor the vibrant taste of our HARICOTS VERTS, tender French green beans lightly sautéed to perfection. Enhanced with a drizzle of garlic-infused olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt, these crisp vegetables offer a refreshing crunch and a burst of flavor that will elevate any meal. A delightful side that embodies the essence of fresh, seasonal produce.

Wash the haricots verts under cold running water. Trim the ends of the beans by cutting off the stem end.

Prepare the Haricots Verts

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the haricots verts and blanch for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.

Blanch the Beans

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.

Sauté with Garlic

Add the blanched haricots verts to the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic oil. Squeeze the lemon juice over the beans, and season with salt and black pepper. Sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Combine and Season

If using, add the sliced or slivered almonds to the skillet and toss everything together for another minute until almonds are lightly toasted.

Optional Almonds

Transfer the haricots verts to a serving dish and serve warm as a side dish.
