Comments from olga :

Sweet Sour Green Beans and Carrots is more traditionally called Blindehuhn or blind hen by the immigrants from Westphalia who brought it to us. The original version is a casserole made with green and white beans, carrots, potatoes, onions, and apples. This American adaptation is minus the white beans and potatoes.
