Ingredients
- 220 g Green bean ends trimmed
- 10 cherry tomatoes halved
- 2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 3 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
- 5 g fresh mint finely chopped
- 30 g olives chopped
- 10 g parmesan grated
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
Instructions
- Add 220 g Green bean to a pan of boiling water and boil for 4-5 minutes.
- Drain the beans and immediately put into a bowl of iced water.
- Put the beans into a bowl with 10 Cherry tomatoes, 30 g Olives, 3 tablespoon Olive oil, 2 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar, 10 g Parmesan, 5 g Fresh mint, 1 pinch Sea salt and 1 pinch Ground black pepper.
- Mix well to combine everything.
Notes
- My top tip for trimming the ends of green beans is to do it in bulk, rather than snapping off the individual ends. Line all the ends up, and chop them off. Flip them over, line the ends up again and chop them off.
- Choose fresh, crisp beans that are bright green in colour. Avoid any beans that are wilted, discoloured or have brown spots. The beans should be trimmed and blanched until they are tender, but still have a slight crunch.
- If you want to give these a kick of heat, then some red chilli flakes are a good addition.
- A little touch of sweetness goes well with the saltiness of the olives. Why not add a squeeze of runny honey?
- You can make this more filling with some grains like quinoa or rice.
- To really bring out the flavour of the green beans, you can try roasted them first. It gives it a really nice texture too.
