Trim grenn beans, wash and place in an non metalic saucepan with vinegar, water and salt.

Bring to a boil, and cook uncovered for 5 minutes. Drain and cool throughly. Add garlic and peppercorn and toss to combine. Place in a plastic container pour olive oil over to cover. Store in the refrigerator for a few days to 2 weeks

I cooked the beans longer, but it is a matter of taste.
