Your favorite green bean concoction

[ritaxis]

 (I was thinking about this song)

Blue Lake pole beans are prodigiously productive. 

So far I have made (some of them multiple times):

Turkish green beans in olive oil with tomatoes

stir fried green beans with fermented black beans sauce

stir fried green beans with oyster sauce and rice noodles

salad of blanched green beans with mustard vinaigrette, hardboiled egg and potato

green bean stew with chicken and turmeric and other vegetables

sauteed zucchini with green beans, red pepper and basil

fried rice with green beans

pasta with green beans and asiago cheese

and one day I just flipped out and mainlined a kilo of them raw while I was distracted, reading the internet


how do you eat green beans? Of course I do know about making them with mushroom sauce and a topping of fried onions and I will probably eventually do that.

None of your concoctions sound at all appealing to me, except the soup. My family tradition favors very plain vegetables, cooked with a little salt and nothing else. Those of my great-aunts and uncles who preferred their turnip greens with vinegar were looked at askance by the majority, who considered that ruining perfectly good greens.

I do like plain vegies but some of those I actually consider to be plain (stir fry). But right now I'm eating about a pound of green beans every other day, even with giving some away...I need variety! Also most of those are just combining vegetables together, sometimes with herbs.
