Runner bean (seeds) uses.

wrote: Tried an experiment the other day in the kitchen which worked well. I've collected lots of dry runner bean pods and shelled them without knowing what to do with them all. Anyway, soaked some overnight in a bowl of boiling water to de-wind them. Then boiled them for half hour until tender then chilled them running some cold water over them. At this stage the tough skins on the beans tear off quite easily if split with a small knife. This task isn't as tedious as it may sound because the beans are quite large and it doesn't take a lot to make a reasonable sized portion. The resulting pile of cooked skinless beans tastes (to me anyway) a lot like roasted sweet chestnuts. I threw them into a curry and they worked very well. So, the dried runner bean pods are worth harvesting! -- David in Normandy. * * *To e-mail you must include the password FROG on the * *subject line, or it will be automatically deleted * *by a filter and not reach my inbox.
