Cutting Beans, Dried

4 servings

Ingredients

• Beans, large, juicy, mature but tender (as needed)
• Salt (a little)

Instructions

1. Cut large, juicy, already mature but still tender beans into pieces about half a finger long.
2. Boil them in lightly salted boiling water for a few minutes and dry them gently in a lightly heated oven, not too much.
3. They must remain light green and should not break.
4. Wide pole beans can also be dried in the same way, but finely shredded.

Modernized from a treasured 19th-century German cookbook.
