Ingredients

500g trimmed runner beans
Olive oil for frying
2 heaped tbsp capers, drained and patted dry
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
Good squeeze lemon juice
250g hot-smoked salmon, flaked
5 tbsp crème fraîche
Small bunch each fresh dill and chives, snipped
Handful fresh flatleaf parsley, finely chopped

Method

Using a bean stringer or sharp knife, shred the runner beans into long strands.
Heat a little olive oil in a pan and fry the capers until crisp. Drain on kitchen paper.
Steam the prepared beans for 3-4 minutes until just tender, toss in a bowl with the remaining ingredients while warm, then season well. Serve scattered with the crispy capers.
