Rick's Picks Mean Beans Spicy Green Bean Pickles

Mean Beans are a spicy take on what Rick's Mom in Vermont calls dilly beans. This version comes with extra heat. These prize-winning crispy beans are pickled with cayenne and fresh dill and have an unusually fresh flavor. They make a great hors d'oeuvre wrapped up in salami. Garnish your Bloody Mary with Mean Beans and add the brine for an extra-potent kick. Use the leftover brine to pickle sliced carrots. Wrap some beans in thinly sliced salami for a festive hors d’oeuvre, add a couple of beans and a dash of brine to a Bloody Mary or put sliced carrots or daikon in leftover brine for 2-3 days for more spicy pickles.
