    • Reviews

  • “A nice change of pace that fancies up green beans (I steamed mine). The mace gives a nice hint of flavour to it and the novelty of water chestnuts is a treat.”

  • “I agree with you, Bergy….those water chestnuts really do jazz up many veggies.This a great example.I loved the bit of mace and the crunchiness of the water chestnuts mixed with the green beans.I had almost 1 1/2 lbs of beans, but kept all the other amounts the same.These will be a part of my holiday table!Thanx for posting!”
