Balsamic Green Beans and Fennel
"Adaptation of a recipe from Live Better America. Great with grilled trout (or other fish) and roasted potatoes. Do not pre-cook green beans if they are small haricot vert."

3 cups
- Serves:

ingredients
- 1 lb fresh green beans
- 1 medium fennel bulb, cut into six to eight wedges (leave core in to hold wedges together)
- 1 small onion, cut into wedges (we like to grill the onion wedges, leave root end on to hold wedges together)
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1⁄4 cup water
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar, packed
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
directions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Clean beans and cut fennel bulb into wedges. When water is boiling, add vegetables and blanch until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and shock in ice water to stop cooking, then drain well.
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, Add onion (if not grilled) and cook 7 to 8 minutes, turning frequently, until golden brown.
- Add blanched vegetables, cook, uncovered, stirring and turning frequently, about 10 minutes until tender and caramelized. Add remaining ingredients and cook another 30 to 60 seconds until well coated and glazed.

<p>This site has gotten so horribly bad over the past couple of years, I have stopped using it to manage my recipes and have gone over to using another one, which I have been forbidden to mention on Food.com. It's no secret that there are competitors; send me a message if you are in the same boat and would like to know. For now, I only frequent a few of the forums and that's it. The Titanic has sailed!</p>
