 Yellow Wax Beans
© Denzil Green
When beans are sliced length-wise into thin strips, this is known as French or julienne-style.
Choose crisp, firm ones with good colour. Avoid ones with brown spots or scars, or with bulge spots (will be woody).
Cooking Tips
Before cooking, top and tail the beans, and wash them. Boil Wax Beans for a minimum of 5 minutes in unsalted water, anywhere up to 8 or 10 minutes.
Substitutes
Green Beans
Equivalents
1 pound Wax Beans = 450g = 30 - 40 beans = 3 1/2 cups untrimmed = 3 cups (14 oz / 400g ) topped and tailed = 2 3/4 cups chopped.
Storage
To refrigerate, store unwashed in a closed plastic bag for up to 4 days.
To freeze, wash the beans, top and tail them. Cut them up, and blanch in boiling water for 3 minutes (no more!) Plunge into very cold water to cool them, then drain well, pack and freeze for up to 6 months.
