Anau,
we were given some long beans last summer and had way to many. I gave them a quick blanch in boiling water then let cool, patted dry and froze them..They were just like any frozen partially cooked green type beans..Still good and easy to use.

Oh, ok thanks 
Sure - blanch, shock, drain (a salad spinner is a great way to get excess moisture off) - then bag and tag and toss them in the freezer.
