Sounds good to me! I will try to make them some time, and tell you what I think. I bet my dad would love to try this recipe, since he loves green beans, and eats them with almost anything.

I love green beans! The recipe sounds great and I will definitely try it. What kind of taste do the black mustard seeds give it? Is it different from using regular mustard seeds?
