Mustard Beans

Mustard beans - the perfect accompaniment to roast beef (apart from yorkshire puddings of course!)

I love roast dinners, but I’ve always been guilty of focusing on the meat, potatoes and yorkshire puddings and neglecting the vegetables. Simple boiled carrots, broccoli and peas were always a staple on the side of my roasts – pretty dull. As a result I always finished these first, to get them out of the way so that I could move onto the good bits.

I decided that I should give this neglected aspect of my roasts some attention and since then I’ve been playing around with my vegetables to see if I can make them a bit more interesting.

One of my favourites is these mustard beans. They taste great on the side of any roast, but I think they’re particularly suited to roast beef.

      Thanks Joanna.

      Sometimes I love a recipe that take a bit of time and effort but when I’m making a roast there’s so many other things to do at the same time that having side dishes that are quick and simple makes life a lot easier (and lessens the chance that I’ll end up burning something else!).

      Thanks Lucy. I’ll hopefully be linking up again this week, I just need to get on and finish a post. I’m being easily distracted this week!!

      Thanks Renee (sorry for the lack of accent, I’m on my phone and I’ve no idea how to type one).

      I’ve always neglected my veg and then found it dull. It’s been great to finally put some effort into it and discover how much better it tastes.

      I hope the book is going well.

    We had green beans with our steak tonight. Love, love love fine beans with a bit of butter and garlic, but I think I’ll follow your recipe next time for a change. x
