Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado, flesh removed
- 1 tub (200ml) light crème fraîche
- 1 clove of garlic, peeled and sliced
- 2 spring onions, trimmed and chopped
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1tbs chopped tarragon or basil
- A little dash of green Tabasco (if you have it) or a few chilli flakes
- A drizzle of olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- 2 x 220g packets of trimmed fine French beans
- 8 slices of Parma ham
1 Put all the ingredients except the beans and the ham into a food processor or blender and blitz until smooth.
2 The next step is a little unorthodox but it works. The time in the microwave will depend on the thickness of the beans. Put the unopened packets of French beans on a plate into the microwave on high for three minutes. Check that they have softened slightly.
3 Open the bags carefully and allow the bag to cool, then turn the beans in the dressing.
4 Plate the beans, drape the Parma ham over the top and serve. You may have some dressing left over. It's good with so many things, especially a roast chicken sandwich.
