For those of your readers who don't know what blanching is, it is simply a method of partially cooking a vegetable. With green beans, you simply boil water, dump the beans in for about 3 minutes, then remove them with a slotted spoon (or tongs) and place them in a bowl of ice water for about 5 minutes. This process doesn't make the beans limp or soggy. It keeps them crisp and preserves the flavor. Daisy McCarty http://www.sandiegocubicles.com/blog/ That looks delicious!
