farmer jo serves up string beans by Joanna Piatek | 1 2 3 4
continued from page 1

As for cooking the beans, I’m of the opinion that the best tasting bean is one that is only slightly cooked. Perfectly prepared green beans should be tender, but still with a hint of crispness. Overcooking green beans will leave them mushy, gray and not unlike the stuff you’d find in a can.

Ready to start cooking? Three ways to serve up those string beans ...

	Basic Blanched/Steamed Green Beans Fast, easy and delicious ...
	Roasted Green Beans with Balsamic Vinegar Impress your friends at your next fancy dinner party with this simple but elegant, tasty recipe ...
	Green Bean and Walnut Paté Use it as a dip, spread, sandwich filling, whatever ...

this way for the recipes!
