 FLAT
BEANS
Also
known as helda beans, flat beans are similar to
the well-known runner bean. They are flat, stringless
green beans with a smooth skin.
How To Use Flat Beans
Flat
beans are served cooked as an accompaniment
to a variety of main courses including fish,
chicken, pork and lamb. To serve, toss in butter
and freshly ground black pepper or flavoured
olive oil.
How To Prepare Flat Beans
Wash
and top and tail the beans and chop into into
even-sized pieces or slice into ribbons before
cooking.
How To Cook Flat Beans
Flat
beans can be boiled or steamed. To boil, bring
a pan of water to the boil, add the prepared
beans and cook for 5 - 10 minutes or until just
tender but still crisp (do not overcook as they
will turn an unattractive khaki colour and go
soggy). To steam, place the beans in a steamer
and cook for 8 - 12 minutes or until just tender
but still crisp

refrigerated after purchase.
