Fresh sea beans
White wine vinegar
Peeled garlic cloves
1. Sort through sea beans, pinching off and discarding any woody stems or discolored sprigs. Rinse well.
2. Pack sea beans into glass jars with 2-3 peeled garlic cloves per jar.
3. Add vinegar to cover. Put lids on jars. Let sit for two weeks in a cool, dark cupboard, then refrigerate. The sea beans are ready to eat at that time, but will keep well in the refrigerator for quite a while.
