Green Beans with Mustard Oil and Black Mustard Seeds

The idea of using mustard in various forms was inspired by Indian recipes. The spicy mustard oil and the popped black mustard seeds might be a little overwhelming for your first crop of haricots verts, but it’s a perfect treatment for large supermarket beans whose flavor is not quite so delicate. A garnish of yellow mustard flowers, if they can be found, would complete the theme and be quite enchanting with the green beans and black mustard seeds.
