Directions

• The beans should be boiled in salted boiling water for 5 to 6 minutes, or until just tender.
• Drain and then rinse under cold running water. Get rid of the extra water, then pat dry with paper towels.
• The cooked beans can be prepared the day before and kept in the refrigerator in a bowl covered with cling film.
• In a small pan with 1 tablespoon of the oil heated, add the garlic and quickly cook until it is crisp and lightly golden.
• Pour the oil from the pan into a bowl and let cool. This can be completed the day before, chilled, and covered with cling film.
• The following day, combine the remaining oil, vinegar, mint, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir well after pouring over the beans.
• Pour into a serving bowl, then sprinkle with the garlic in oil.
