Runner Beans

Posts: 1,747 Forumite
Our runner beans have gone absolutely crazy and I am inundated with them!!
We have had them steamed, stir-fried, cooked in cheese sauce, and added to curries and casseroles. I have given loads away, and have made a dozen jars of chutney. Today DH picked another box full (approx 4lb) and still they keep coming! I have checked out existing old threads on them and am now looking for some new ideas and inspiration. HELP!!

Wish I was near you- I love runner beans.....
In 'olden days' they used to salt beans to keep them, then rinse/soak them before cooking.
I'd be freezing them as they keep very well this way.
