Green bean salad with mustard seeds and tarragon from Plenty (page 196) by Yotam Ottolenghi

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Enjoyed this salad at Amy’s house. Though the salad has no astringent agent, the seeds create a refreshing flavorful balanced dressing, flagging so I can make at home. Amy used a TJs power green bag in place of chard. Excellent! Served with a side of French feta.

    Great way to incorporate three green vegetables in one salad. We liked this but it was made without nigella seeds, without tarragon, without red chile pepper, without chard leaves. The cost would add up if you don’t have all the listed ingredients (14) on hand, and I decided it wasn’t worth it buy all the ingredients for a weeknight salad side dish. It was good with the lemon zest, mustard and coriander seeds, and garlic.

    Loved this. I did substitute spring onions for red onion & used Aleppo pepper instead of red chilli. Packed with flavour & remarkably for an Ottolenghi recipe, not too many steps! The recipe in the book is easier than the weblink as it uses grams rather than cups as its measure (2 cups of green beans??).

    Reduced oil by 1 tbsp and omitted nigella seeds. I also softened the red onion in the microwave to reduce its punchiness Otherwise made as directed. My haricot vert were cooked in 2.5 mins. I disliked the tarragon and will sub for cilantro next time, otherwise it was great.

    liked the other Ottolenghi recipes I tried better. Strong tastes of lemon zest en coriander seeds, which I thought were too powerful. Tarragon taste was nice though.

    Loved this though I must admit to missing out a few ingredients - nigella seeds (didn't have them), red onion (too pushed for time), tarragon (didn't feel like it) and baby chard leaves (which were optional anyway). But the ingredients I did use - French beans, snow peas, green peas, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, garlic, lemon zest made for a really refreshing, tasty vegetable dish. I served this with Quinoa salad on p.245 and the Chicken with sumac, za'atar and lemon on p.122 of Ottolenghi the Cookbook.
