- French green beans (haricot vert) are a classic choice, but regular green beans also work well.
- Parboiling in salt water helps the beans retain a bright green color and adds flavor to the inside of the beans. Cook only to al dente, crisp tender, and do not overboil.
- You can make the dish a few hours before serving and keep it warm in a crock pot.
