Thin, green French beans are a quick and easy side dish that yields a pleasant sweet and tender taste.
Ingredients
- 350g French beans
- 2 tbsp water
Method
- 1. Cut the stalk ends off French beans.
- 2. Put into a heatproof bowl with 2 tablespoons of cold water. Cover with cling film and use a knife to pierce twice. Microwave on high for 6 minutes, then use an oven glove to remove the bowl from the microwave.
- 3. Put to one side for 2 minutes, then carefully peel off the cling film, starting at the back of the bowl (or the steam may scald your face). Stand a colander in the sink, tip in the French beans to drain and put in a serving dish.
