one and a half pints vinegar
1.5lbs. (675g) onions, peeled and chopped
one and a half tbsps. cornflour
half a tsp. salt
1 tsp. turmeric
1 tsp. mustard powder
--------------
1. Cook the beans in salted water till just soft
2. Cook the onions in half a pint of vinegar until just soft
3. Place the beans, onions and sugar in a pan together with the remaining vinegar and boil for 15 minutes
4. Mix the mustard, turmeric, salt and cornflour with a small amount of cold water and add to the pan
