SAUTEED BEANS AND PEARL ONIONS



Sauteed Beans and Pearl Onions image

This is a fantastic veggie side dish.... wonderfu along a turkey, ham or roast. I always make this when I have a dinner party, it looks so impressive... Make sure that you don't over blanch the beans, as they will become soft when frying. Also, to save time, the beans can be prepared a day ahead, just wrap in a towel, enclose in plastic bag, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
