Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, chopped
- 1/2 red chilli, roughly chopped, seeds left in
- 1 tbsp finely chopped Rosemary
- 200g green beans, topped but not tailed
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 Spring onions, cut into 8cm batons
Method
1. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and stir in the garlic, chilli and rosemary for 1-2 minutes to quickly to release their flavours.2. Add the beans and shuffle well to coat the beans in the garlic, chilli and rosemary, then add the lemon juice and enough water to just lightly cover the beans.
3. Cover and cook on a low heat for 15 minutes, or until the beans are al dente.
4. Stir in the spring onions, toss well and season with salt and pepper. Put the lid back on and cook for a further 1-2 minutes just to wilt the spring onions.
5. Turn the heat off and leave to rest for five minutes before serving.

I agree with Sorrell. Where are Allegra's other two recipes. I can't find them. This is not the first time either. Am I the only one who HATES this new website. The old format worked perfectly adequately. This one is only interested in directing you to the latest promotion or video. Finding old recipes, or looking for a choice is almost impossible. For example the other day I tried to find a recipe for halibut but all I could get was lists of suppliers or restaurants. useless. Virginia
What happened to the recipes for the two dishes that Allegra made????
