green beans with fennel

Green beans are my go-to vegetable – easy to cook, work with a large variety of main courses, most people enjoy them – and you can add lots of different ingredients for more interesting flavors, textures and color. I prefer the thinner green beans, often called haricot vert.

Here you serve the beans with some sautéed fennel.  The strong anise flavor of the fennel works well with the green beans.
