Green Bean Relish Recipes

PERFECT ROASTED GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
• Wash and trim the rough ends off the green beans. Pat them very dry with clean tea towels (wet green beans turn soggy in the oven).
• Place the prepared green beans on your baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil over the beans and sprinkle the salt all over. Use your hands to toss until all of the beans are lightly coated in oil. Arrange the green beans across the pan in a single layer.
• Roast for 14 to 16 minutes, undisturbed, until they are crisp-tender with some golden, caramelized spots. (If using slender haricots verts, they may be ready a couple of minutes earlier.)
• Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy with any desired accompaniments (see recipe notes for seasoning suggestions). Roasted green beans are best enjoyed while warm, but will keep in the refrigerator, covered, for 4 to 5 days.

GREEN BEAN & MUSTARD PICKLE

Steps:

• Put the onions in a preserving pan with 500ml of the vinegar. Cover and cook gently for 20 mins until soft. Meanwhile, blanch the beans for 5 mins, then drain.
• Mix the flour, mustard powder, turmeric and celery salt. Heat the mustard seeds in a small lidded pan until you hear them popping, then tip them into the flour mixture. Gradually stir in remaining vinegar until smooth.
• When the onions are ready, tip in the spice vinegar mixture and stir continuously over the heat until thickened. Add the blanched beans and cook, uncovered, for 10 mins, stirring occasionally. Add both the sugars and cook, stirring frequently, for 15 mins more until thick. Spoon into sterilised jars (see tip) and seal while hot. This will keep in a cool place for a year, but the colour will fade over time. Once opened, store in the fridge.
