Another favourite Armenian side dish from ” Home Food” by Olia Hercules. If fresh beans are not available you can use frozen. You can also poach some eggs in the dish to serve as a brunch or supper. You can serve with fresh bread or flatbreads. If you have leftover beans you can reheat the next day and whisk through some beaten raw eggs to make a version of scrambled eggs.
This can be made with French beans, Runner beans or flat beans and is usually served cold as an appetiser but can be served warm as a side or as a main dish with flatbread. It’s from ” Sumac” by Anas Atassi.
This recipe is from my very well thumbed and stained copy of ” Madhur Jaffrey’s Indian Cookery”. This was the first Indian cookery book i bought, but one i still return to regularly. You can make this in advance and reheat if you like.
This is a seasonal Lindsey Bareham recipe which I found in Ruth Watson’s ” Fat Girl Slim”. If you are not losing weight you could tear in some ciabatta bread, or serve accompanied by new potatoes.
