Cinnamon Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I hate Runner Beans & never grow them because of this. But we always get a carrier bag of the darn things dumped in the porch anyhow What can I do with them please, that makes them taste nice & not like Runner beans? Dip them in chocolate maybe?

Its just taken me 75 mins to top,tail & string all the bloomin' things though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 You need one of the bean stringing gadgets from Lakeland, Cinnamon - they take seconds to do all that - and omly cost a couple of pounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I love runners Once you have sliced them with one of those Lakeland bean thingys you can steam them for two or three minutes and eat them like spaghetti. Now before anybody says .............WHAT Try it. Lovely with bolognese Even better with if you're into it (Quorn personal opinion though .. sorry) Few calories and very tasty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
