Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 lb Green beans, ends trimmed
2 Cloves garlic, minced
1 tb Red-wine vinegar
1 tb Walnut or olive oil
1/8 ts Salt (optional)
1/8 ts Freshly ground black pepper

I tried this recipe from Jane Brody's "Good Food
Gourmet" for Thanksgiving last year and my family
really loved it! Steam beans for 5 to 7 minutes or
until tender crisp. Rinse briefly under cold water to
preserve color, but do not chill. Cover and keep warm.
In a large bowl, combine garlic and remaining
ingredients. Add warm green beans and toss until well
coated. If desired, you can reheat in microwave before
serving. If you don't want such a strong flavor of
garlic, simmer the unpeeled cloves of garlic in a cup
of water for 5 minutes before peeling and mincing. I
don't think the original recipe is too strong though.
