My parents have always grown yellow and green beans in their garden. Fresh vegetables from your own garden are always a treat. I miss that garden (sigh), except for that weeding part.
So, what's better than growing your own? Eating of course!
I would like to share a fantastic, and very simple, recipe with you that has kept me eating beans for a long time now:
The Best Beans Ever:
FYI:
"Green beans are ready in July and can be enjoyed all summer. Choose bright green beans that are long, slim, and do not have large seed protrusions—this indicates an older, tougher bean. Avoid beans with very noticeable blemishes, or a withered look. Store them in the refrigerator in a clear plastic bag. They will last three to five days. "

I would like to share a fantastic, and very simple, recipe with you that has kept me eating beans for a long time now:
The Best Beans Ever:
- 450g or 1 lb fresh green or yellow beans, cleaned and trimmed
- 1 or 2 garlic cloves, crushed using a mortar and pestle or the back of a heavy knife (alternately you can buy crushed garlic in a jar, use about 3 tsp)
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper
Boil beans until quite soft, about 8 minutes, or until desired tenderness. Drain. Add all other ingredients, toss and serve.
**If beans are unavailable you can use broccoli - adjust the cooking time to 3-5 minutes, you want to retain the colour and some crunch.
