My mom told me she wanted to boil some long beans and carrots for lunch. I thought it was boring to just do that and so I went surfing on the BBC recipe website to find a recipe for it. And this is what I found. It's actually pretty appetizing; the contrasting savoury taste of fried garlic and onions and the sourness of the lemon juice. My mom likes it but I don't think my dad does as he's averse to sour foods.
