Green beans in Mashed Potato

I am not a green bean fan, but this way they taste great! It is also an easy way to add vegetables into your diet without too much notice.


Ingredients:

200g Green Beans (diced)
6 Medium Potatoes (diced)
½ tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
Pinch of Salt
1 Tbsp margarine/Butter
Milk

Method:

Place beans, potatoes, bicarb and salt in a pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook for 20 minutes (until potatoes are soft). Drain and place back into pot. Using a sharp knife, slice the potatoes and bean pieces finely. Add the margarine or butter and mash using a potato masher. Once all lumps are removed, add a small amount of milk and mix to look fluffy.

Serve as for mashed potatoes.

Handy Tip: If you want a green vegetable to retain its colour add a ½ tsp of Bicarbonate of Soda during cooking.
