  1. Good. I cooked my beans for about 6 minutes, then turned off the heat and let them steam a little longer while the rest of the dinner finished up. The proscuitto was a nice touch! Thanks for sharing.
     
  2. I needed a green bean recipe to take to a Christmas dinner potluck. Someone in Request a Recipe suggested this recipe and it is wonderful. I used 2 packages of frozen Haricots Verts which were microwave with the garlic. They were slightly undercooked so that they could be warmed at my final destination. After warming again, they were sprinkled with crisp bacon. Everyone loved them. I am sure to use this recipe again.
     
  3. This recipe is perfect for using fresh beans and rosemary from your garden or farmers market. I was especially appreciative of lack of any added fat, which this recipe truly does not need. The flavor combination is wonderful. Thank you Bergy for sharing your recipe. I'm sure it is one I'll return to time & again.
     
  4. Enjoyed these green beans very much. I didn't have prosciutto, but had some german Westfahlen Ham which is somewhat similar. I cut back on the garlic to 1 clove. The flavors were very nice together.
     
  5. Although the amount of rosemary may appear to be heavy, it in fact, is not. This is quite delicious, with a nice mixture of flavors from the prosciutto, garlic and rosemary. Very elegant! Easy enough for everyday, but nice enough for entertaining. Will definitely make again. Thanks for posting!

On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine. I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help. My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods. I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England! In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
