French Green Beans in Cream image

I got this recipe from Good Housekeeping UK when at the Helsinki Airport a few weeks ago. Looked good and made for Canadian Thanksgiving. It was a hit! Very tasty and easy!

Categories     Vegetable

Time 30m

Yield 1 pan, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 ounces green beans, ends snapped
1/4 cup butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 -4 slices prosciutto
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
5 ounces cream or 5 ounces half-and-half

Steps:

  • Cut the ends off the beans, then cook in salted boiling water until just tender. I steam them til they are still crisp and bright green.
  • Run cold water over beans to stop the cooking process.
  • Melt butter in a large pan and gently cook onions until soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Add Prosciutto, garlic, and parsley and cook for 3 minutes.
  • Add the cream, stirring constantly, and bring to a light boil. Do not leave unattended, otherwise cream will burn.
  • Once mixture is hot, add green beans, mix to coat and warmed through.
  • I did the sauce and green beans ahead, mixed them together and reheated on the stove. Turned out great!
