Preparation

For the recipe of green beans in sweet and sour sauce, clean the green beans and boil them in boiling salted water for 8 ', then drain and cool them in a bowl of cold water.

Pour the egg yolks, sugar, 4 g of salt, 2 tablespoons of vinegar and 2 tablespoons of water into a small saucepan; place on very soft heat and carefully emulsify the mixture with a whisk for 5 ', obtaining a sweet and sour sauce.

Be very careful that the egg yolks do not coagulate: for safety, you can cook them even more gently in a bain-marie, checking that the water just starts to simmer.

Drain the green beans, arrange them on the plate and season with some chopped basil leaves, a little oil and the sweet and sour sauce still warm.
