G'day mates,

The local minor supermarket has had reasonable quality fresh green
beans on special this week. (Usually beans on special are pretty past
their prime; but this lot seems to be okay.)

Question is, what is a good way to handle a surfeit of beans?
Something a bit beyond boiling or steaming would be nice. :-)

Had a bit of a google, but there seem to be around 350,000
possibilities for "recipe fresh green beans", so I thought it would be
nice to ask this group for "favo[u]rites". I can almost taste a dish
based on various combinations of beans with bacon, tomatoes,
mushrooms, etc. -- but I can't quite put my finger on the defining
ingredient(s). Help!


Cheers, Phred.
