It’s the season for green beans! As sad as I was that I didn’t plant any beans in early summer I was blessed to have been given the opportunity to harvest 7 pounds of fresh green beans right off the plant from a friend. So what does one do with so many green beans? I blanched and froze about 5.5 pounds and made a few recipes to share with you in the coming week. One is a ferment that I’m hoping tastes great!
During the summer when I’m busy outdoors I try to spend as little amount of time as possible in the kitchen. A great way to use seasonal green beans is to roast them right along side potatoes and red onions. Throw in a couple of scrambled eggs from the backyard and there you have a nourishing and easy summer meal.
