Like other comments, I don't like tarragon, and it tasted great without it. Simple and delicious- saves so much time on Thanksgiving for a great 'healthy' side. If I were brave enough to make again I would skip the tarragon and cut down the boiling time but not sure it's even worth another go. Also, I cooked for 6 minutes and the beans were mushy. The flavor didn't go with the rest of Thanksgiving dishes. The tarragon was overpowering on this dish and I didn't like it at all. Pan fried the haricots verts in the castiron instead of boiling them. At suggestion of other reviewers, I omitted the tarragon. No one in our family liked the beans and we ending up throwing out the entire dish.Ĭame out delicious! Made two alterations: The herb butter overpowered the green beans. Will definitely make again, but perhaps will tell my ancestors to be a bit less heavy-handed on the lemon juice next time. I also boiled the beans for more like 4-5 minutes, until they were still bright green and a tad crisp but not mushy. ![]() As far as subs go, I didn't have fresh tarragon so I switched in fresh genovese basil instead and it was fantastic. I loved these, and, miracle of all miracles, so did my children (2 and 7)! Made a smaller batch and used the voices of my ancestors to guide the amounts of all ingredients, so perhaps not true to the recipe. I can see this being out of place at a thanksgiving table, but I made for Easter and was fresh and spring like! Will be a go to for me, and I will find more places for that herb butter! The herb butter was delicious and a perfect pair with the green beans. Unlike some of the other reviewers, I love tarragon! I forget how much until a recipe really does justice to this herb. I agree to cook for a shorter amount of time, everyone loves these!
