• Add the mustard and vinegar and use a whisk to combine it. Stir vigorously for about 1 minute to help it come together.

• Cook until the green beans are hot all the way through and tender--about 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Serve warm with the sauce poured over the top and add some toasted almonds or walnuts on top if desired.
