Forgot to snap off the ends, since I'm still a novice-cook, but I took care of that before they were served. I also left out the pecans, simply because I didn't like the pecans. The cooking times were extended a bit to adapt to the high altitude (I live at 5,000 feet above sea level.
The texture came out just right, not too crunchy but a far cry from mushy. The flavor was balanced, not over powering. It was a wonderful addition to our Thanksgiving dinner.

I fixed this recipe for our family Thanksgiving Dinner and it was a huge hit! I have already forwarded it to two people...and, I never change the recipe until I have tried it at least once! I do not understand why people feel they have to change the recipe!! If I do not like it...I just don't fix it again! To alter a recipe is the same as "there is no recipe"...so, why would you bother...get another recipe! It is that simple!

This was quite tasty! I used haricot vert instead of traditional green beans, so I shortened the cook time after adding the water.
