people have more home-grown string beans than they know what to do with.
Here's what she had to say about it: "Whenever I want something cool and
relatively healthy to much on, I make a batch of these. So far, I
haven't
found anyone who doesn't love them (even kids!)."
Marinated Green Beans
3/4 pound (400 g) fresh green beans
1/4 cup (60 ml) Bermuda onion, chopped fine
3 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 tsp (4 ml) salt
2 Tbs (30 ml) olive oil
3 Tbs (45 ml) lemon juice
Snap beans and break into 2 inch (5 cm) pieces, or leave whole if very
small. Fill a medium sized pot 3/4 full with water and bring to a boil.
Add
green beans and cook for about 3 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Drain.
Mix
still warm beans with onion, garlic, salt and olive oil. Leave mixture
at
room temperature for an hour, in order to let flavors mingle.
Immediately
before serving, add lemon juice (otherwise the beans turn yellow). Best
served the same day. Serves 4.
