I don’t really like green beans but these mustard curry beans are amazing and very tasty. Bottle before holiday season and used when needed. Braai or Barbecues.
Should you boil green beans before sauteing?
No, you do not have to blanch or steam the string green beans before you sauté them for a recipe or a meal. They will soften and tenderize quickly when you sauté them in a pan for your recipe needed. If you serving for a side dish as a vegetable then just add some good salt to them and serve.
Does vinegar prevent beans from softening?
Acids such as vinegar make hemicelluloses more stable and less soluble, which might slow down the softening of beans. Depending on your recipe such as the bottled mustard curry green beans recipe adding the vinegar mixture late once the beans are soft is what you would do.
Why cut tips off green beans?
The tips and ends of the green beans need to be cut off, and this is called topping them. There is no real reason to do this but it does take of the stem it was connected to the plant. Which is probably harder.
Why do you cut beans diagonally?
It exposes the vegetable skin area more and allows it to cook quicker and the vegetable inner of the green bean will also absorb the flavors of the recipe type you are cooking better. This cut also makes the served vegetables look pretty. So cutting the beans when making this recipe attached will help the sauces be absorbed and much tastier.
