Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many enjoyed the tasty combination, though some found the mustard overpowering.
  • Ease of prep: Some felt the recipe was fiddly, requiring frequent adding and removing of ingredients from the pan.
  • Suggestions: Consider reducing the mustard for a more balanced flavour; cook beans longer if they're thick.
  • Next-day meals: Several noted the green beans spoiled quickly, so plan to use them early in the week.
  • Additions: Try adding tenderstem broccoli and peas for extra variety and nutrition.
