Zydeco Green Beans is actually a redundancy. The
exuberant music of Louisiana's black French-speaking
Creoles is called zydeco, an idiomatic phonetic
version of les haricots, French for snap beans. Serve
these green beans as a relish, or as "stirrers" for
Bloody Marys.
~------------------------------------------------------
~----------------- In a large saucepan, stir together
the water, vinegar, sugar, mustard seeds, garlic, bay
leaves, salt and Tabasco sauce. Bring to a boil,
reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes. Add
the beans. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, until
tender-crisp. Arrange the beans in a shallow dish and
cover them completely with the vinegar mixture. Cover
and refrigerate overnight. Serve cold.
