Green Beans with Sweet Red Peppers (Haricot Vert) Recipe

The French green beans (haricot vert) are best in this recipe. Bacon, onions, sweet red peppers, balsamic vinegar, and wine give a sweet and sour, smoky flavor to the beans. If you cannot find them fresh or frozen, use the thinnest green beans you can find. Roasted red peppers (your own or jarred) may be substituted for the fresh red bell pepper.
