    Serves 4 to 6

    Remove the ends of the stringbeans as well as the coarse thread, then soak the beans in a large bowl of cold water for 1 hour. Chop the carrot and onion coarsely. Heat the olive oil in a casserole, preferably terra-cotta. Saute very gently until golden brown (about 10 minutes), then remove the garlic. Add the stringbeans to the casserole.
