Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 1/2 cup cream
• 2 egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 50 g butter
• 300 -400 g green beans, topped and tailed
• 1 -2 teaspoon garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped

Recipe

• 1 in a small bowl or jug, whisk together cream, egg yolks, red wine vinegar, salt and pepper and set aside.
• 2 melt butter in a pan over a medium-low heat.
• 3 add beans and garlic and cook, tossing often, for 8-10 minutes, or until beans are tender.
• 4 remove pan from heat and pour in cream and egg mixture.
• 5 toss mixture constantly until the sauce has thickened and the beans are well coated - the heat retained in the pan should be enough to thicken the sauce, but return the pan briefly to the heat if necessary.
• 6 (in the unlikely event that the sauce curdles, don't panic, just stir in another egg yolk.).
• 7 to finish, stir in parsley and serve immediately.
