Eating runner beans

Not sure if i am allowed to ask on here or not. Runner beans now by the plenty, having roast dinner tomorrow as desperate for one, dont care how hot it is to cook. My problem is, what do you use runner beans for, i am only really cooking one gravy dinner a week in this heat and have no ideas what else to use them for. Everyone i know grows them so no one wants any, they also want ideas. ( no mum im not blanching and freezing, dont have the patience).

 

Runner beans stringed are nice cold with salads with a healthy sprinkling of pine nuts.

 

Try runner bean chutney - its yummy!! or in a stirfy, veg curry, or basically any receipe where green beans are used.

 

Runner Beans ummm luverly I just break them into 5ins pieces drop them in boiling water for max 4 mins then plung them into cold so they keep thier lovely colour, eat them hot or cold if they are from your garden they won't need stringing yummee! :D

 

Just steamed, drained, then grated cheese on top with the lid banged on again for a minute to melt it. Lunch!

 

Mrs DAG takes off any stringy bits and then puts them into small polythene bags (enough for each serving) pour cold water over, turn bag upside down with opening between fingers and let it drain, which will suck out all the air, clip it and straight into the freezer! No need to blanch and its easy and only takes seconds!

Has been doing this for 2 years, lasts right thro' the winter months, you will appreciate those roast dinners more in the winter!

 

Now that is clever..never heard of that way.

 

Try them stringed, sliced, showed to boiling water, and eaten hot with butter melted over them.

 

Thanks for the ideas everyone, I shall pass them on as we were only chatting about it yesterday.
