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

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

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

….especially if they’re a little bit past their best.

There’s a Greek green bean stew called fasolakia, with onion, garlic, tomatoes (I use tinned) olive oil, plenty of parsley. There’s a recipe online somewhere, it’s pretty simple.

I made one last night, with frozen beans! - because I just fancied it. Just simmered in a saucepan.
Nice fresh crusty bread to mop up the juices. I added some cubes of fried halloumi to serve, just because we like that, too.

A good veggie dinner, if anyone wants a change.
