Sweet and sour beans

1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
½ kilograms Green or butter beans
Salt
2 tablespoons Oil
3 tablespoons Plain flour
6 tablespoons Vinegar
3 tablespoons Sugar

Directions

Cook the beans in boiling, lightly salted water to cover. Make a roux (see recipe for creamed spinach) with the oil and plain flour and add the beans together with their cooking water, stirring constantly, to make a thickish sauce (add more water if necessary).

Add the vinegar and sugar and stir until the sugar is dissolved.

Taste and adjust if necessary by adding more vinegar or sugar.

Continue cooking, stirring, for a few more minutes. Serve.
