Haricots Verts and Potatoes with Pesto
This is a simple recipe with commonly found ingredients that can be prepared relatively quickly. The pesto adds tons of complex flavor, so minimal seasoning is necessary. I like to serve this as a side with a lean, grilled steak, but would pair well with chicken or pork, too. For a vegan side, choose a pesto without cheese.

Cook's Note:
This recipe works with green beans, but is best with haricots verts (I love Trader Joe's(R) extra fine haricots verts); they're sweet and crunchy and saute to doneness quickly. Also, any kind of potato will be delicious, but Yukon gold potatoes yield a soft consistency that I love.
