In July we often have a glut of green climbing beans. Our neighbour has just shown us a great recipe which is a real treat. They are totally moreish but are fairly healthy.

First make a typical batter using some flour, an egg, salt and a little milk. Then dip the green beans into the batter.

Put them in hot oil until they are done.
