What to do with green beans

Green beans are great in salads. Cook beans in boiling water for about 3 minutes, strain, and serve with chopped tomatoes, corn kernels, chopped avocado and chopped coriander. Dress with a lemony vinaigrette. Try a warm salad. Cook and strain beans. Mix gently with toasted pine nuts and cracked pepper. Dress with a squeeze of lemon juice. Make pita pizzas with a gourmet twist. Brush pesto over large pita breads (or plain pizza bases) and add cooked and chopped green beans. Sprinkle chopped bocconcini, crumbed feta, and finely chopped Kalamata olives over pizza. Lightly drizzle with olive oil. Place in a warm oven (about 150°C ) until golden brown, or cheese is melted. Add green beans to a stir-fry. Boil beans for 2 minutes, then add to other chopped vegetables in a heated wok with a dash of sesame oil. Add some finely chopped garlic, ginger, chilli and your meat of choice. Cook for 2 minutes. Add a sauce and simmer for 3-4 minutes. Serve with noodles or plain rice. Make green bean fritters. Cook and chop beans. Mix carrots, corn, green beans, spring onion and parsley with egg, flour and milk. Fry palm-sized fritters in a non-stick pan. Serve with salad and couscous. from gulfnews.com
