How to Make Haricots Verts In Plum Tomatoes

  1. Slice off the top and bottom of each plum tomato.
  2. Using a spoon, gently remove the pulp from each tomato, creating a hollow cylinder. Set the pulp aside for another use (like a sauce or soup).
  3. Trim the stem ends of 1 pound of haricots verts (green beans).
  4. Steam the green beans in a saucepan with 1/2 inch of water for 3-5 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Do not overcook!
  5. Let the green beans cool slightly.
  6. Place approximately 12 green beans, or as many as will comfortably fit, into each hollowed-out tomato.
  7. Arrange the filled tomatoes attractively on a serving platter.
  8. In a small bowl or blender, whisk together 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  10. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the vinaigrette over each tomato just before serving.
