Method

1. Blanch the beans until just tender, not fully cooked to prevent crumbling later. After blanching, drain and place on paper towels to remove liquids
2. Make the filling : Finely chop the red peppers and place in a sieve; press well to remove all liquids
3. Break the walnuts and grind the garlic; mix the peppers with walnuts and garlic and add 1 tablespoon salt (adjust to taste). Stir well
4. Then in an appropriate pickling jar, place a layer of beans, then a layer of filling...
5. You can invert the jar top-to-bottom and leave it like that for a day to remove all liquids and air inside the jar.
6. Then add vegetable oil and optionally a little olive oil, or just one of the two according to preference and availability.
7. Seal the jar well and it will be ready to eat after a few days.
