Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pound haricots verts -- thin french green
-- beans
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

In a kettle of boiling salted water boil the haricots verts for 4 to 6 minutes,
or until they are crisp-tender, drain them, and plunge them into a bowl of ice
and cold water to stop the cooking. Drain the beans again and pat them dry.
The beans may be prepared up to this point 1 day in advance and kept wrapped in
dampened paper towels in a plastic bag and chilled. Just before serving, in a
large skillet melt the butter over moderately high heat and in it toss the har
icots verts until they are heated through. Season the haricots verts with salt
and pepper.
