Beans with Walnut Tomato Sauce Recipe

December 15, 2020 By sue Leave a Comment

Green beans (especially scarlet runners) are one of the joys of summer. It is nice to be able to serve them so that they are a stunning feature themselves rather than just a side. This Beans with Walnut Tomato Sauce recipe combines green beans, colourful capsicums, and Middle Eastern spices with crunchy walnuts.
