German term

Bohnen-Scheiterhaufen

German to English Other Cooking / Culinary Menu item
This term is part of a gourmet restaurant's New Year's eve menu:
Bohnen-Scheiterhaufen mit Foie-gras
in Himbeervinaigrette

This might mean green beans stacked and maybe even decoratively tied together. But since I practically never translate culinary texts, I need help with finding an appropriate English term.
It might be also helpful to know that the restaurant is located in Madrid.
Thanks in advance to all!

agree Gruffalo : I really like this one, too. I could picture it from the bonfire suggestion, but this is more appetising!

sheaf of green beans

I have seen similar arrangements of food in fine restaurants and in cookbooks (usually asparagus, looks very nice).

Has nothing to do with fire or burning.
