Mustard Bean and Baby Potato Salad

It is the season for putting away for the winter.  I bought some lovely fresh yellow beans at the farmer's market.  I love mustard beans, especially in this recipe.

I toss them with steamed baby potatoes for a low-fat and flavour packed potato salad.

Mustard Beans

2 lbs yellow beans, washed, trimmed and cut to 1 1/2" lengths
3 tablespoons of mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon tumeric
3 tablespoons pickling salt
white vinegar
water
flour
1/4 cup sugar
onions, finely chopped
1 red pepper, finely chopped

Mix the sauce ingredients and place on heat.  Bring to a boil.  Add the beans, onions and red pepper.  Bring back to the boil.

Process in water bath for 20 minutes for 250 ml jars.

  4. Angie> this was a suggestion with my Bernardin cookbook and I love it. It doesn't keep overnight like the potato salads with mayonnaise but it's great.

    henfruit> you have got to try them! It is probably a prairie thing.

    Pam> sorry!
