--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      pound         haricots verts -- thin french green
                        -- beans
   2      tablespoons   unsalted butter

In a kettle of boiling salted water boil the haricots verts for 4 to 6 minutes,
 or until they are crisp-tender, drain them, and plunge them into a bowl of ice
 and cold water to stop the cooking.  Drain the beans again and pat them dry.  
The beans may be prepared up to this point 1 day in advance and kept wrapped in
 dampened paper towels in a plastic bag and chilled.  Just before serving, in a
 large skillet melt the butter over moderately high heat and in it toss the har
icots verts until they are heated through.  Season the haricots verts with salt
 and pepper.
