I normally dont do green beans, it even says on my web site "tired of the same old green beans". Well I booked a dinner for this Friday for 150, going to do tri tip, garlic mashed potatoes, salad, rolls. The lady wanted a vegetable, and some color on the plate, she suggested broccoli, I said yuck (I dont like broccoli), so she said then green beans, reluctantly I agreed (I dont like green beans either) I even went as far as to say I would grill them, I figure I can work that part out. The problem comes in the fact that I didnt realize that you have to trim green beans. I went to the packing house and got a 30 pound case, now I am sitting here cutting the ends off 30 pounds of the damn things, (you can stop laughing now) What I would like to know, is there an easy way to do this? Costco sells them already trimmed, but they would cost my 1.50 a pound more than I paid, 1.00 per pound. Also, how am I going to grill that many beans? I'm thinking blanch them, then shock them in cold water, then lay some foil on my grill, and try to get some grill or char on them. Does this sound right? or like it will work?
