Yes, the second recipe in two weeks inspired by the fabulous cuisines of south Asia (and the second in a row from bbcgoodfoood.com). With beans running rampant for farmers and allotmenteers alike, they were a must for this page this week. You could substitute other green beans for runners but adjust the cooking time. For purists who want a simpler bean treatment, this is lovely: steam until tender, then toss for a minute or two on a low heat in butter or oil, crushed garlic, lemon zest, salt and black pepper.
