How to cook Flat beans - simple recipe

1) Boil the flat beans in adequate amount of water till color changes from bright green to more of an olive tone. Turn off the heat.

2) At this point, you could leave them in the warm water to soften further or strain them depending on how you'd like them to be.

3)Once strained, slightly older beans may need to be string-ed. Younger beans will not be string-y. Remove the ends.

4)Toss with salt and raw mustard oil. Alternately, toss with lime/lemon juice, olive oil, salt/pepper.
