the smell of the truffle oil was so terrible, i could not even sample the beans. my husband tried them though, and he did not like them (even though he is not picky at all. we gave them to my in-laws and they did not like them either.

I just read some of the reviews for this recipe as I was sending it to a friend of mine and was surprised by the mixed reviews. I thought this was a great recipe for green beans...very easy, very different, and also delicious. I suppose the white creamy coating on the beans must be offputting for some people, in which case, I think I would suggest just adding a bit more of the cream to thin it out a bit. But, I had NO trouble with curdling and I loved the idea that this is like a salad in that the beans are cold. The truffle oil creates a wonderful flavor and makes a very rich dish out of basic and bland beans! I added quite a bit more salt than I would have thought it could take...and it was wonderful. Fed to a group of 10 as a side and everyone loved it.
