 RUNNER
BEANS
Long,
flat green beans that have a coarse textured skin.
More mature beans may have a fibrous string running
down each side.
How To Use Runner Beans
Runner
beans are served cooked, usually as an accompaniment
to meat or fish dishes. To serve, toss in butter
and a little lemon zest or stir in 1 tbsp pine
nuts and a drizzle of oil from a jar of sun-dried
tomatoes.
How To Prepare Runner Beans
Wash
and top and tail the beans and if necessary
remove the string from the side of the bean
using a small, sharp knife. Chop the beans into
even-sized diamond pieces or slice into ribbons
before cooking.
How To Cook Runner Beans
Runner
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. To steam, place the
beans in a steamer and cook for 8 - 12 minutes
or until just tender but still crisp.
How To Store Runner Beans
Keep
refrigerated after purchase.
