Green Yellow Bean Relish Food

4-BEAN RELISH

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together and let sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour for the flavors to blend. Mix thoroughly before service.

YELLOW RELISH

Steps:

• Bring 1 gallon water to a boil in a large pot and dissolve pickling salt in the boiling water. Place cucumbers, onions, cauliflower, red bell peppers, and apples into a large bowl or crock and pour the boiling water over the vegetables. Allow to stand overnight and drain the next morning.
• Transfer vegetables to a large stock pot and mix in sugar, vinegar, 3 cups water, flour, dry mustard powder, and turmeric until thoroughly combined. Bring the relish to a boil and reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until vegetables are cooked through and soft, about 20 minutes.
• Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the relish into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process relish for 15 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

BEAN RELISH

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together beans, onion, garlic, mayonnaise, and relish. Season with salt, white pepper, and mustard. Mix well, and refrigerate for several hours before serving.

GREEN BEANS WITH PICKLED-ONION RELISH

Steps:

• Fill large bowl with ice and cold water. Cook beans in large pot of generously salted boiling water just until crisp-tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain. Place beans in bowl of ice water until cool. Drain well, then pat dry with kitchen towels. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Wrap beans in several layers of paper towels; enclose in large resealable plastic bag and chill. Bring to room temperature before using.
• Combine 2 cups water, cider vinegar, and next 6 ingredients in large saucepan. Bring to boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Add onions; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until onions are wilted, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Cool uncovered to room temperature. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill onion mixture. Before using, drain liquid; discard thyme, cloves, and bay leaf and bring to room temperature.
• Whisk oil, syrup, and chopped thyme in large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add green beans and drained onions; toss to coat. Transfer salad to platter and serve.

GREEN BEAN & MUSTARD PICKLE

Steps:

• Put the onions in a preserving pan with 500ml of the vinegar. Cover and cook gently for 20 mins until soft. Meanwhile, blanch the beans for 5 mins, then drain.
• Mix the flour, mustard powder, turmeric and celery salt. Heat the mustard seeds in a small lidded pan until you hear them popping, then tip them into the flour mixture. Gradually stir in remaining vinegar until smooth.
• When the onions are ready, tip in the spice vinegar mixture and stir continuously over the heat until thickened. Add the blanched beans and cook, uncovered, for 10 mins, stirring occasionally. Add both the sugars and cook, stirring frequently, for 15 mins more until thick. Spoon into sterilised jars (see tip) and seal while hot. This will keep in a cool place for a year, but the colour will fade over time. Once opened, store in the fridge.
