As I think I’ve already told you, I’m a bit of a bean addict. I love all the beans and pulses, especially lentils. Well, this is a great haricot bean recipe that uses fresh green beans too. It’s delicious and ideal as a side dish or as a light lunch with some crusty bread…

Fresh & Dried Beans - serves 4

175 g (6 oz) dried haricot beans (soak overnight)
500 g (1 lb) trimmed & sliced green beans
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp lemon juice
salt & pepper
2 tbsp chopped parsley

Cooked the haricot beans in boiling water for an hour until tender then drain.

Cook the green beans in boiling water (salted to taste if desired) until tender.

Mix the oil and lemon juice together, season to taste with salt and pepper and stir in the parsley. Mix the beans together, pour the dressing over and serve.
