Clean the beans, wash them, thread them, leave them whole. Cook the beans in salted water until they are firm to the bite. Drain the water and put the beans in a bowl.
Bring the water, vinegar, sugar, salt and savory to the boil until the sugar has dissolved. Pour this brew hot over the beans. Let cool and store in the refrigerator.
The beans are served cold and are a delicious accompaniment to meat or grilled meat.
Tip:
The beans and their brew can also be frozen or poured into glasses and boiled down.
