Fine beans


I came across these beans in a restaurant here some time back. I had never seen them before in my life, but they were very nice. They're smaller and thinner than French beans, and they're sweeter and crunchier too.

Came across a recipe in the papers introducing these beans. They're called "Fine Beans" from Kenya, and they're only available in certain supermarkets.

How to cook them? I'm not exactly sure, but since the restaurant cooked them simply, ie just steaming them, I did the same.

The result wasn't so great - I over-steamed them (about 11 mins) :( I think next time, about 5-7 mins sld suffice.
