The secret to this dish is the touch of Sherry vinegar, added at the last minute; it lends a sprightly note that complements the rest of the meal.

Cooks' notes:

If you do not have a frencher, beans can be halved diagonally.
Beans can be frenched (but not cooked) 1 day ahead and chilled in a sealed plastic bag lined with dampened paper towels.
