Romano Beans (1 lb)

1 lb

Romano beans are the Italian flat bean that makes a regular green bean feel like it's not trying hard enough — broad, fleshy pods with a crisp, snappy texture when raw and a sweet, nutty, slightly grassy flavor that deepens beautifully with heat. Available in summer and fall, they're stringless and entirely edible, pod and all. They hold up to longer cooking better than most beans, making them ideal for slow braises and hearty tomato sauces where they absorb surrounding flavors without falling apart. Equally good blanched and dressed with olive oil and lemon, tossed into pasta, grilled whole, or shaved raw into a summer salad. The bean that Italian home cooks have been building weeknight dinners around for centuries — and for good reason.
