Haricots Verts

"Whether they’re steamed, pickled, blanched, or deep fried, it’s hard to beat a delectably al dente green bean. That’s especially true of Trader Joe’s Haricots Verts, a French variety of green bean grown for us in Guatemala and Mexico. They’re ever-so-slightly thinner than a standard green bean, which results in an even more satisfying pop in every single bite. With their delicately sweet taste and lovely, toothsome texture, our Haricots Verts are practically tailor-made for serving as a Thanksgiving side, be it in a quick sauté with onions and slivered almonds, par-boiled and used to top a leafy green salad, or, of course, the classic green bean casserole with Mushroom Soup and Fried Onion Pieces."
