With friends coming over for dinner and the theme for the evening being South African an internet search came up with this dish. Even if you're not that enamoured by reen beans the buttery mash potatoes makes up for it! Ingredients (serves 4 as a side) 500g floury potatoes 250g fine green beans 1 onion, chopped 1 garlic clove, finely chopped 1 tbsp vegetable oil 50g butter milk, as required salt, to taste freshly ground pepper, to taste Method Prepare the vegetables. Peel and cut the potatoes into medium sized pieces, then top and tail the green beans before cutting the, into 1cm long pieces. Bring a pan of salted water to a boil and add the potatoes. After 10 minutes add the green beans. Continue to boil until soft enough to be pierced with a knife. (about 15-20 minutes) Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan, over a medium heat, and fry the onion until they soften. Try not to let them colour. Then add garlic and continue to cook for minute....
