Fresh French haricots verts

We call them green beans or string beans here.  I sowed a French fillet type of green bush bean, which, according to the seed packet, is a variety popular for the Japanese luxury restaurant market.  I'm on my second sowing.  I picked a bunch and sautered them in olive oil and minced garlic.  For the last minute I added several halved cherry tomatoes--also picked that morning.  It was good!  These beans are meant to picked when they are nice and thin and no more than 5 inches long.
