Ok, I don’t really mean that I have 101 ideas of things to do with a french bean. I have found them to be as prolific as courgettes but a much more versatile ingredient in the kitchen. I chuck them into anything but they’re just as nice simply served on the side with a knob of butter. Yesterday I met Hilary over on the allotment to take some photos to go with her interview. It was a miserable day, just like today, but the rain stayed off long enough for me to pick another meal’s worth of beans. It has been our first year of growing these Cobra climbing french beans and they have been great. Last year we grew dwarf beans but they took up a lot of space for relatively few beans compared to the climbing ones. This variety produce an abundance of long straight pale green beans which even now, still haven’t gone stringy or tough. And unlike the courgettes, none of us have got bored with eating them either. Tonight they’re going into a pasta sauce made with roast cherry tomatoes, garlic and mascarpone. Yum.
