Frenched Green Beans

This elegant vegan side dish elevates the humble green bean into a sophisticated accompaniment. By 'frenching' the beans into long, delicate strips, you create a refined texture that perfectly absorbs the light dressing of extra virgin olive oil and sharp Sherry vinegar. It is a bright, fresh way to enjoy seasonal produce, offering a crisp-tender bite that provides a lovely contrast to heavier main courses.

Quick to prepare and naturally healthy, these French-style green beans are a versatile addition to your repertoire. They work equally well alongside a Sunday roast or as part of a lighter midweek meal. For the best results, ensure you cook the beans in batches so the water stays at a rolling boil, which helps maintain their vibrant green colour and prevents them from becoming overcooked.
