Cook & Puree Food

Cook green beans by boiling (in water or stock) or steaming until well cooked. Strain liquid well.
Weigh ingredients.
Place cooked green beans in a blender or food processor. Puree on high until smooth, scraping down sides as required.
Pass pureed green beans through a sieve to remove fibrous vegetable.

Activate Shape It Powder

Place pureed green beans and Shape It Powder into a saucepan, bring to the boil over medium heat.
Reduce heat and simmer gently for 2 minutes, stirring as required.
Season to taste.

Pour into Mould & Set

Lightly spray the Shape It Green Beans Mould or line a container with baking paper, then pipe the mixture into long strips to resemble the shape of actual green beans.
Pour the mixture into prepared Shape It Mould or container and spread evenly with a spatula. Cover with Mould Lid or cling film and refrigerate until set.

Store in freezer or prepare to serve. If freezing, wrap each portion securely.
