  Did this for a family lunch for my mothers birthday - really easy and delicious - lots of compliments and an empty salad bowl at the end!

  Simply lovely. Great way to serve what can be quite a boring vegetable!

  Really nice and simple. I added some steamed carrots to the beans and went down a treat with the tuscan slow roasted pork Yum

  Very tasty. I found it tasted better when it was chilled overnight than when we had it first time around.
