Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Side dish

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 red onion
200g green beans or runner beans (or use a mixture), trimmed or sliced

3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
large handful of chopped soft herbs (parsley, dill, tarragon, basil and coriander work well, or use a mixture)

Steps:

  • Use metal tongs to hold the onion over hot coals or char in a hot griddle pan until just blackened all over. Leave to cool completely, then peel away the outer blackened layer and finely chop the rest of the onion. You can also simply finely chop the onion without charring it first, if you prefer.
  • Cook the beans in a pan of boiling salted water for 4-5 mins until just cooked, with a slight snap. Drain and tip into a bowl with the onion, cannellini beans, olive oil and lemon juice. Season well, toss everything together and set aside until needed. This can be prepared several hours ahead and chilled. Stir in the herbs just before serving.

MIXED HERB SALAD WITH BORAGE : LA SALADE DE PLUSIEURS HERBES



Mixed Herb Salad With Borage : La Salade De Plusieurs Herbes image

A delightful old French salad recipe, which uses fresh aromatic herbs with fresh lettuce leaves and a simple dressing. Serve this with poached salmon or cold chicken for an elegant dinner party dish. Adapted from a 16th century French translation of a book originally written in Latin in 1474. NB: Borage is an excellent culinary herb and can be used in a variety of ways. Borage is far better used fresh, as the flavour and colour deteriorate when dried and some essential oils lost. Traditional recipes recommend borage leaves and seeds, together with fennel in salads for increasing the milk supply in nursing mothers. The leaves and flowers are still added for flavour and garnish to wine cups, Pimms and gin-based summer cocktails and the flowers are still candied for confectionary as cake and ice cream decorations.
