Crunchy, juicy green beans from Ferguson Farm, a classic Ontario summer favourite that's bush-grown, sun-ripened and picked a little early for extra tenderness. Graze on them raw right off the stem, or sauté with olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper; for a special treat, try them cooked in bacon fat and topped with fresh garlic.
To keep them fresh at home, refrigerate and hold off washing until you're ready to use them; if storing in plastic, tuck in a paper towel first to absorb extra moisture.
