Ingredients
|
- About 100g fresh runner beans per person
|
|
|
|
Method
|
- Cut the ends off the runner beans
- For later-season beans, which are larger and tougher, remove the stringy bits. Do this by taking a thin slice off each of the long edges (about 2mm).
- Slice the beans diagonally into slices about 1 cm wide and 5-6 cm thick.
- Boil a pan of water.
- Simmer the runner beans for 3-5 minutes, until tender. Later-season beans take longer to cook than early-season pods.
