My DW decided to buy a pound or so of fresh string beans. A veggie I have never really worked with before, so here goes:
1 1/2 - 2 hand fulls of fresh string beans (tops removed)
1/2 vidalia onion, sliced
2 cloves minced garlic
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 Pat of butter
olive oil, salt & pepper
Par boil the beans and immediately place them in an ice bath. (I used the sautee pan to keep the dirty dishes to a minimum.) Heat 2 T. olive oil and add the onion. Keep the heat low enough not to carmelize. After 2-3 min, add the garlic. Once the onion has become transparent, add the beans and bring up to temp. Add the wine and reduce slightly more than half. Add the cream, S & P to taste and a pat of butter. Reduce quite a bit, you want it to be able to coat the beans. Check again for any more seasoning and serve.
