Okay, I’ll admit it. Dill is almost exclusively a pickling spice for me. Maybe reading all the delicious recipes everyone else in the challenge came up with will help me, but I didn’t actually have dill in my spice rack. I grow it and use it fresh but don’t really do anything with it outside of the summer months. I did have a few sad-looking heads of dill lingering in the kitchen, so I threw them into a quart jar with a handful of cleaned green beans, some water, a chili, some garlic and 3 Tablespoons of kosher salt. Then I filled a Ziploc bag with water, tucked it down into the jar to keep air out and ignored it all for a while. After about two weeks I had delicious dill beans.
Lame I know, but there it is. Spice Rack Challenge.
I have never made dill beans, have thought about it many times. Maybe this year.
