Wow, that looks beautiful – guess I’ll have to swap for plain old Haricot Vert. Where can one get ‘Four Angled Beans’ in the UK anyway?
Hi GR,
Thanks for the lovely comments

To be honest at the moment I am living in Penang, Malaysia and I am not sure where you could buy the beans in the UK.
Hope you are able to find them & give the recipe a shot.
Thanks for dropping by.
Warm regards,
Mike.
