Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 kg flat Romano pole beans, trimmed
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 3 cloves of garlic, peeled and finely chopped
  • ½ brown onion, peeled and finely sliced
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ½ cup white vinegar
  • salt

Method
 

  1. Cook the beans in a pot of boiling water until just tender.
  2. Drain in a colander, allow to cool for a couple of minutes then transfer to a large bowl.
  3.  Add the oregano, garlic, onion, olive oil, vinegar and a pinch of salt and stir everything together so that the beans are well coated. Taste and add more salt if needed.
  4. This is delicious straight away, but it is best made the day before so that the beans absorb all the flavours overnight.
