Creamed Beans with Mint

Directions

1. 1
   Boil the beans in deep, very lightly salted water.
2. 2
   When they are tender, drain them and put them back into the pan.
3. 3
   Pop them out of their skins, if you like.
4. 4
   Pour in the cream, add a little salt, some black pepper, and the nutmeg, perhaps, then fold in the chopped parsley and mint.
5. 5
   I tend to keep it quite fine for this dish.
6. 6
   If you are using savory, introduce it now.
7. 7
   Bring the mixture to a quiet simmer, then spoon it alongside your ham, halibut, or whatever.
