    ingredients for sauteed green beans

    The day that I photographed this I did have haricot verts.

    Green Beans or Haricot Verts

    A green bean is a much thicker and slightly curved bean, while the haricot verts (pronounced “air-co-vairs”) are a thinner and straighter bean. They will have different cooking times because of the thickness.

    You can read a little more on the differences between the two beans in this article Haricot Verts & Green Beans by Nature and More.

    If you purchased fresh green beans you will cook around 7 minutes. If you purchased haricot verts you will cook for about 5 minutes.
