Ingredients

  • One large cucumber, quartered and cut into 2cm pieces
  • A little sugar
  • Salt & freshly ground pepper 
  • French beans, ends trimmed 
  • Fresh spring onions (scallions), finely chopped 
  • Olive oil 
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice and zest of ½ lemon

Method

Step 1

Place the cucumber in a colander and sprinkle with sugar and 1 teaspoon salt. Let stand 15 minutes. Toss together green beans, scallions, and oil in a bowl.

Step 2

Season with salt and pepper. Grill in a grill basket over direct heat, tossing occasionally, until beans are charred and tender, for about 12 to 14 minutes. 

Step 3

If you haven’t got your barbeque set up, simply grill them in the oven, turning occasionally. 

Toss together cucumbers, green beans, lemon zest and juice, and dill in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
