When it’s bean season, watch out: they are abundant! Luckily, there are many ways to make the most of the harvest. These snappy treats are delicious raw as well as cooked, and can even be pickled for off-season enjoyment. Fresh beans will keep for about a week in a bag/container in the fridge.
The Easiest Fresh Bean Recipe Ever
1. Heat a pan and add some butter and/or cooking oil (coconut oil is especially tasty).
2. Meanwhile, rinse your beans. Snap or cut off the stem-end (optional). Cut beans in half if you want to eat smaller pieces.
3. Sauté the beans for a few minutes in the pan, until they’re as tender as you like them. Season with salt, pepper or any other herbs or spices you like. For a healthy, cheesy flavour, lightly sprinkle nutritional yeast on the beans just before serving.
