These are commonly found wild in Greece's Aegean islands, often served on top of horyiatiki salata. They are called kritamo in Greek and pickled without horseradish and are delicious.

Our wonderful neighbor brought us some sea beans (Seattle area). We first tried them fresh. Quite delicious in salad. Then I pickled them approximately following this recipe. I used 1/4 c apple cider vinegar and 1 cup rice vinegar. And some bougie peppercorns. No horseradish. Great.
