Steps
- 1Top and tail the beans and cut any long ones in half.
- 2Boil them in well-salted water for 5–7 minutes, until tender but still with some bite. Drain and spread out on a tray for a few minutes so the surface water steams off.
- 3Crush the garlic with a pinch of salt to a paste and mix it with the oil and vinegar.
- 4Toss the still-warm beans with the garlic dressing and the dill, check the salt and leave for 15 minutes before serving. Warm beans take in the garlic; cold ones stay coated but bland.
