For anyone with a glut of French beans…

That sounds lovely and would suit my vegetarian son perfectly. Thank you

I quite often make the Turkish version of that - taze fasulye.

I am always on the lookout for new (to me) vegetarian recipes. This one looks great. Thank you.

Sounds just up my street. Thanks.

Anything for courgettes?😬

Sounds great and we do have heaps of beans. But DH would say”Where’s the meat”.

Lathyrus I mix chunks of courgette, garlic, fresh tomatoes, chopped onions and olive oil plus seasoning to taste. Cook in the air fryer 180 on bake for about 18 minutes. Can be done in the oven or on the hob. I have it with grated cheese, or other vegetarian options. Chicken or fish goes well with it too.

Again from my Turkish cookbook, we like kabak mücver - courgette fritters. Or, a couple of years ago when we had a glut of courgettes, I made a courgette and lime loaf cake which was absolutely delicious.

Love my green beans, even though you need a second mortgage to buy fresh 😂

That’s why I make it with frozen ones. Garden is too titchy to grow any.

I use a mandolin to slice courgettes into ribbons. Into the pot with a spoonful of olive oil. Cook on the lowest setting for anything up to half an hour, adding garlic and lemon juice towards the end. The courgettes slowly collapse down to almost a thick sauce. Pasta and parmesan completes a foolproof dinner.

Sounds tasty and easy Marmin I will try your courgette suggestion.

I will also be making the green beans recipe. That's a good standby using frozen beans.

I do this, we have it with rice and crusty bread.Done in the oven.

My mother once coped with a glut of runner beans by bottling them in salt in Kilner jars. This was long before freezers. We moved house and took the massive weight of bean-filled jars and when winter came they were opened, tasted then emptied onto the compost heap.

We made ‘Dilly’ beans once. In Kilner jars with lots of added dill. They went on the compost heap also
.

Me too witzend.

I’ve made a courgette and lemon cake, a chocolate, courgette and hazelnut cake and a lovely big pot of courgette soup with ginger and garlic. To be fair my courgettes were more like marrows 😉

Made courgette and ginger jam last year but I love courgettes so much as a veggie I stir fry them most days with lots of other vegis and whatever seasoning I fancy

Completely overrun with runner beans giving them away as fast as I can I planted two lots green runners and yellow runners they are really nice my friends love me in the summer

Wow. Excellent courgette recipes as well as the beans.

Thanks everyone.

😁

Lucky you with lots of beans. My runners have been a disaster. Usually I get plenty to give away too.

Sounds like our house! My husband is a dedicated carnivore, he's OK with pulses added to meat, but not instead of meat.

You've reminded me that there was a recipe for lemon drizzle cake made with courgette in the latest GH newsletter:
www.goodhousekeeping.com/uk/food/recipes/a25915707/courgette-lemon-drizzle-cake/
I haven't made it but it looks nice.

My favourite way with runner beans is to barely cook in salted water with dash of sugan. Then add to chpped garlic fried in butter. Many years ago there were gluts in father's garden that involved freezing after parboil then chilled in iced water... Never as good as fresh so dont bother now.

I make chutney every year and it lasts ages.
