Hi,
I just boil them & add salt & pepper, maybe rosemary tips. I know this sounds boring, but I like it.

I love to eat them raw as a snack, or as a dipper.
Have you tried deep frying them? A light batter. Yum!

Green Beans 1

1 kilo beans topped, tailed and chopped into halves or quaters
2 onions, finely diced
1 tbsp tomato paste 2 tomatoes finely diced
salt and pepper to taste
chilli if so desired

Saute the onion in a little oil, add in the beans and saute until the colour changes. then add in the tomato paste etc. Add enough water to cover the beans and cook on medium heat until beans are done. After they are cooked the water level will be reduced so İ add in enough water to cover again. You serve this with rice.

Beans 2

1 kilo green beans
2 finely diced onions
2 finely diced tomatoes
salt, pepper and chilli if wished

Ok you cook the same as above but there is no tomato paste so when the water has cooked out it is finished. This version is nice cold and served as a side dish.

I love them pickled. Use for snacks, sides, salads, omelets, etc. See recipes in group Pickling and Kimchi. I use the same recipe that I use fpr asparagus.
Stay natural.

Lucky you! I eat them blanched with butter, pepper and salt. Decadent.
Hey, does anyone have any good ideas for what I can do with a lot of scarlet runner beans that are past the snap stage? (are swelling with beans). I should have left them on the vines but we may get frost. Didn't know how that would go.
