    Nice simple recipe…I would not have thought of adding pears to green beans.

    Hi Anne, Thank you for your comment. It is a nice recipe. we enjoyed the mixture of flavors. The balsamic vinegar was nice with it too. I think next time I make the dish, I will saute the pears in a bit of vegan margarine and add them warm to the warm beans as well…then the vinegar. It was good this way…but…would also be nice with the sauteed pears.
