Summer Supper

I think runner beans are absolutely wonderful! My grandfather used to grow them when I was little, so summer wasn't summer without a big plate of runner beans and a few rashers of bacon draped on top. There's not much to say except the beans are delicious, and the plants are gorgeous with their beautiful flowers, and of course they're avid climbers so you have to have extremely tall stakes to support them.
I found this great article by Nigel Slater which captures the nostalgia of the runner bean! I hope you like it.

Assorted cherry tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, runner beans and a salmon burger. Quite the summer supper!
