Ingredients: | A lot of green beans from the garden | ||
Preparation: | Blanch by boiling 1-1/2 min. I prefer steam blanching since my stove is
wimpy, and it's hard to keep water at the full boil when adding bunches of cool stuff. Steam blanch 2-3 minutes, and do the same as above. or- Steam blanch the whole beans till crisp-tender, cool in cold water, pat dry, and dip in ranch dressing or drizzle with a nice vinegarette. or- If they get a bit long in tooth, string, chop, and simmer in water or broth, for an hour or so along with a slice or two of crispy bacon. Toss in the actual seeds from the overmature beans, too. Serious old time comfort food. |
