Method

  • 1.
    Place eggs in a food processor and whiz until a smooth paste. Add toum, vinegar and juice, and mix until well combined.
  • 2.
    Heat a small frypan over medium-high heat. Add butter and cook until golden. Remove from heat and add the fat. Stir until smooth and combined.
  • 3.
    Slowly pour butter mixture into egg mixture, mixing to combine. Season with salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper. If sauce is too thick to spoon over beans, add a little water to loosen.
  • 4.
    Cook the beans in a large saucepan of boiling salted water for 4 minutes or until just tender. Drain. Cool in a large bowl of iced water, then drain and pat dry.
  • 5.
    Just before serving, add dill to sauce and stir to combine. Arrange beans on a serving platter and spoon over the sauce. Season with freshly ground black pepper and drizzle with oil.
