Since the beans are cooked before the casserole gets put together, then cooked again, they tend to be soft enough to have lost the squeek.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37188293.post-23023700150293396622007-06-14T15:42:00.000+01:002007-06-14T15:42:00.000+01:00That soup looks and sounds amazing.I can second th...That soup looks and sounds amazing.<BR/><BR/>I can second the green beans with chilli thing as well - yum.<BR/><BR/>Or how I had them last night chopped quite small and stirred into a creamy salmon pasta sauce on spagettini.Calhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08360878379989903535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37188293.post-77955321833376526732007-06-14T09:06:00.000+01:002007-06-14T09:06:00.000+01:00Freddie probably isn't a fan of chili either but w...Freddie probably isn't a fan of chili either but we stirfry young green beans briefly in a wok and then mix in a dollop of garlic chili sauce (a Thai or Chinese brand usually - they're red, sweetish and very garlicky) over the heat which changes their character completely.Catofstripeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08626451503696948747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37188293.post-33709076645708402992007-06-14T00:54:00.000+01:002007-06-14T00:54:00.000+01:00I like the Moosewood recipe for Roasted Green Bean...I like the Moosewood recipe for Roasted Green Beans, and you can make additions or subtractions. <BR/><BR/>Brush a baking sheet with 2t olive oil, spread 1 lb trimmed green beans, 1 cup thinly sliced oniln, 10-12 cloves peeled garlic on the pan and add salt and pepper. Roast at 400 for 20-30 minutes, stirring a couple times, until they're as tender as you like. Transfer to a bowl and drizzle with balsamic vinegar and toss in a cup of pine nuts. Serve at any temperature. <BR/><BR/>The combination of the roasted onions and vinegar is what I like.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17896805548524887997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37188293.post-85051626623164511162007-06-13T16:27:00.000+01:002007-06-13T16:27:00.000+01:00My favorite way to eat green beans is in Maple-Mus...My favorite way to eat green beans is in Maple-Mustard Glazed String Beans and Potatoes.
