Best Balsamic Green Beans And Carrots With Pearl Onions Recipes
BALSAMIC GREEN BEANS AND CARROTS WITH PEARL ONIONS
This makes a VERY fancy looking side dish in less than 20 minutes! I prefer to use the fresh veggies in the steam-able bags you can find in the produce section, cuts down on the cooking time. I originally found this recipe in Cooking Light. However, I have added butter, garlic, more balsamic vinegar and carrots, so I am not sure if it is extremely "light" anymore, but it sure is good.
