Ingredients

12 ounces of fresh green, purple or yellow beans

10 or more caradamom seeds

butter or oil to taste

herb salt to taste

Directions

Choose slender, young beans and wash them/

Snap or cut off the ends and snap or cut the beans into peices, about 1-inch long.

Boil them for 8-10 minutes, or until they are tender.

Drain the water, then set the beans aside with the lid on.

Select 10 or cardamom seeds and grind them to a medium-fine powder with a mortar and pestle.

Add this powder to the green beans, along with butter/oil and herb salt to taste.

These beans go well in a menu with her Tomato Aspic (page 6 of the book), Cucmber soup (page 19), Garlic Sandwiches (page 79) and fresh peaches with wheatgerm bars (page 98).
