Ingredients
- 1 lb sea beans
- 1 tbsp baking soda
- 2 garlic cloves sliced
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon freshly squeezed
- ¼ tsp chili flakes
Instructions
Clean Sea Beans:
- Rinse the sea beans thoroughly under running water.
- Soak the sea beans in plenty of water for 30 minutes. Rinse again and drain well.
Cook Sea Beans:
- Bring a large pot of 2-3 liters of water to a boil (enough to cover the sea beans).

- Add the sea beans and boil for 12-14 minutes until the sea beans are tender.
Cool and Peel:
- Once boiled, transfer the sea beans to a bowl of cold water to cool and maintain their vibrant color. Let them sit for about 5 minutes.
- Drain the sea beans and gently pull the flesh away from the woody stems by holding the stem end and sliding off the tender parts.
Prepare Dressing:
- In a small jar, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, chili flakes, and sliced garlic. Shake well to mix.
Assemble and Serve:
- Place the prepared sea beans on a serving plate.
- Drizzle the prepared dressing over the sea beans and toss gently to coat.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
