Elegant Green Bean Side Dish

A universal and quick side dish for any meat dish. I served the beans with beef meatballs in tomato sauce. It turns out to be a very harmonious dish. I took whole pods (unfortunately, they are not available everywhere). They make the dish not only tasty, but also very beautiful. The side dish can be beautifully decorated in the form of a ring, and meat or fish can be placed inside. This serving will look very beautiful on the holiday table. And she will give you a reputation as a hostess who knows how to set the table beautifully and with a twist.
