There are two ways you can do this recipe. You can boil your beans, dress them and serve immediately. I prefer it dressed and left to marinate in the fridge overnight, which gives you something closer to a pickled bean.
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh romano or green beans, trimmed
- 2 cloves garlic, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 fresh mint leaves, torn
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 2 mint leaves, for garnish
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add beans and cook uncovered until nearly tender, about 5 minutes. Drain well, and set aside in a large bowl.
Step 2
Smash garlic, olive oil, mint, and salt using mortar and pestle.
Step 3
Pour vinegar and half of olive oil mixture over beans and toss well.
Step 4
Transfer beans to a resealable freezer bag. Pour remaining olive oil mixture into bag, squeeze out all air, seal and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours.
Step 5
Remove beans from refrigerator, top with fresh mint and serve.
Cook’s Note:
For best results, marinate beans in olive oil and vinegar mixture overnight.
