I usually do the Mediterranean type recipes with onions, tomatoes and sometimes potatoes and peppers etc.
Any other good recipes? Asian ones too if you have any.
Not interested in chutneys really.
Thanks.

Well - is it that no-one else has a glut of beans or what?
I always thought the recipe board has lots of great new recipes - so please do indulge me with lovely recipes other than my usual salad or the Med type beans.

I have one self seeded green bean vine growing with the sweet peas, not a bean to be seen, but the sweet peas are gorgeous.

Unusual, simple Indian side dish recipe given to me by an old neighbour. I love it!
Slowly fry a small, finely sliced onion in a tablespoon of ghee or unsalted butter until golden. Add 1/2tsp Chilli powder, 1/2tsp tumeric gently cook a couple of minutes. Add enough small beans or sliced large beans for two, sprinkle over 1/2tsp garam masala, raise heat to medium cook and until just starting to soften.
