Beans and Cheese

Parmesan and beans sounds an unlikely coupling but I recommend it. Pecorino, a young one, is a possibility here too, or one of the hard sheepā€™s cheeses British cheese makers are getting so good at.

Ingredients

green, purple, or yellow green beans or runners
butter
Parmesan

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Trim the beans (I suggest a good handful per person), then boil them in deep, salted water or steam over boiling water.

    Step 2

    Have ready some almost-melted butter and some grated cheese. As you lift the beans from the water, toss them in the butter and cheese.
