The title of this recipe translates to among the vines in Italian. I was inspired by a restaurant in the Napa Valley called, yes you guessed it, Tra Vigne. The flavors in this dish to me represent the essence of its title.Jenn Tidwell, Fair Oaks, California Ingredients:
2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed |
12 bacon strips, chopped |
2 shallots, minced |
4 garlic cloves, minced |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
2 cups white grape juice |
1/4 cup white wine vinegar |
1/2 cup minced chives |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups water to a boil. Add green beans; cover and cook for 5 minutes. Drain and immediately place green beans in ice water. Drain and pat dry.
