Haricots verts are elegant thin string beans which here are cooked simply and finished with the unexpected combination of crisp, salty pancetta and sweet, tender dates.
Cook the pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring, until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the pancetta to a plate with a slotted spoon, leaving the drippings in the pan.
Add the haricots verts to the pan and cook over medium-high heat, tossing, until bright green and tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the pancetta and dates and season with salt and pepper.
