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.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
