Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

    1 bag frozen thin-long cut Green Beans, (about 2 cups)
    Garlic, 3 cloves
    Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 1 tbsp
    Balsamic Vinegar, 6 tbsp
    White Wine, 3 fl oz
    Sesame Seeds, 1/4 tbsp or a few dashes

Tips

Serve sprinkled with sesame seeds.


Directions

Thaw green beans so they are still cruncy, soggy green beans will not make this delicious in any way (or use fresh if you prefer a little longer prep time).
Saute garlic in olive oil using a large saucepan until fragrent. Add beans, season with salt and pepper, then sautee for about 5 minutes. Add wine and vinegar and sautee for about 5 more minutes. Once vinegar and wine has turned into a carmalized looking sauce, beans are done! Enjoy!

Serving Size: Makes about 4 decent side servings.
