string beans

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'green vegetables' is the definition.
'string beans' can be an answer for 'vegetables' (string bean is a kind of vegetable). I am unsure of the 'green' bit.

'bangers tins of mash' is the wordplay.
'of mash' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'mashed' mean this).
'bangers'+'tins'='bangerstins'
'bangerstins' anagrammed gives 'STRING BEANS'.
