Still crunchy steamed French beans are just delicious, so if you add dried garlic flakes and fig balsamic vinegar, you achieve apotheosis :-) It’s true I have never tried the dried garlic flakes and by the looks of it, it does not seem very tasteful, give it a try and let me know! Nevertheless, I checked and you can find abroad the French condiment I am using, which is called semolina garlic, and it’s very good and elegant not like the dried garlic flakes I saw on the Internet :-( Semolina garlic is really the right condiment for this dish, try to find it if you can, because the dish is simply a marvel with it :-)
