Recipe

500g French beans, woody ends removed and composted
3tsp French mustard
2tbs white wine vinegar
7tbs olive oil
1 tbs chopped capers
lots of freshly ground pepper
salt, to taste
optional: 1/2 clove finely grated garlic
optional: the fresh herb you have available, eg., mint, chrvil, russian tarragon, etc
BOIL the beans for 4-5 minutes, until well-cooked. Combine all the dressing ingredients, tasting and being careful not to add too much salt. (MOTTO: You can always add more but you can't take it away!). Drain the cooked beans well, then dress them while hot and serve while warm. Leftovers are excellent (for single babe dinners) but DON'T eat fridge cold. That's for miseryguts. It'll taste grand room temp or warmed.
