Another week at home on the east coast, another pickle recipe to try with my mom. This time we made pickled green beans – also known as “dilly beans” (seasoned with dill, commonly seen on menus as a Bloody Mary garnish), or “zydeco beans” (a musical genre evolved in southwest Louisiana by French Creole speakers which blends music indigenous to the Louisiana Creoles and the Native people of Louisiana; full Wikipedia knowledge here).
Interestingly enough, my mom and I had already planned on making these for their seasonality but had just returned from a wedding in Louisiana right before buying all the ingredients. Alas, the stars were aligned.
