Mushroom Thyme Haricot Verts

Mushroom Thyme Haricot Verts.

Haricot Verts, French for “green beans” are so wonderfully tender.  They are absent of the strings that can make preparing green beans a chore and are easily recognized by their long slender shape.  It’s such a treat to find these at the Farmers Markets and when I do I can’t help but buy pounds of them.  Be prepared for a series of recipe posts incorporating my favorite of the green bean varieties.

For this simple recipe I steamed the beans then tossed them with sautéed mushrooms and thyme.  A drizzle of good quality olive oil and fresh grated hard-boiled egg finished the dish.  I did say ‘grated’ but I actually pressed the egg through a fine mesh sieve to get a nice fluffy pile of ‘grated’ egg.  Which makes a wonderful topping for veggies, seafood, and salads.

I could make a meal out of a giant pile of Mushroom Thyme Haricot Verts.  So delicious.
