1 tablespoon aged balsamic vinegar

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1 lb slender green beans, trimmed

3 tablespoons toasted pine nuts

Directions:

Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium high heat. Add nions; saute until deep brown, about 20 minutes. Stir in balsamic vinegar and thyme; season with salt and pepper.

When ready to serve, reheat onions and toss in green beans until warmed through, about 8 minutes. Serve sprinkled with pine nuts.
