Judion de la Granja white butter beans 660g

Product Information

Just needs crusty bread to go with it, maybe a crisp green salad. Or, again, it’d be an excellent side dish for some white or oily pink fish. On this occasion, the beans are added to diced fennel, which has been sweated and softened and then emboldened by garlic, manzanilla, lemon juice and peppery olive oil. The sweet anise of the fennel, and the crisp, dry sherry add layers and layers of interest, and then the icing on the cake, mojama (air-dried tuna) brings a wallop of salt and umami.

The related species considered most useful for interbreeding with P. coccineus to increase its genetic diversity are P. dumosus and P. vulgaris. [23] Runner beans were grown as food plants in North America and Europe from the 1600s, and also as ornamentals for their attractive flowers. However, they came to be used primarily as a garden ornamental plant in North America, including for temporary screening. The flowers attract hummingbirds, bees and other insects. In the UK and other European countries – where the vegetable is a popular choice for kitchen gardens and allotments – the flowers came to be ignored, or treated as an attractive bonus to cultivating the plant for the beans. [13] [14]I use the bottled Judion beans available from Spanish grocers and some delicatessen for this, but canned butter beans are easier to find, and work perfectly, too. Phaseolus coccineus, known as runner bean, [2] scarlet runner bean, [2] or multiflora bean, [2] is a plant in the legume family, Fabaceae. Another common name is butter bean, [3] [4] [5] which, however, can also refer to the lima bean, a different species.

Slow cook in a frying pan with garlic, as a delicious accompaniment to roast lamb, or simply rinse and toss with olive oil and lemon for a healthy and heartening summer salad. Add the beans to a bowl or pot and cover with 3 inches of cold water. Allow beans to soak in the refrigerator overnight. Drain the beans. In a 2-quart heavy bottom pot, add 2 bay leaves, 1 tbsp olive oil, vegetable broth and additional water to cover the beans by 1 inch. Bring to a boil; de-foam the beans with a slotted spoon after about the first 15 minutes of cooking and occasionally thereafter. Lower heat, cover and simmer on moderately low heat for 45 minutes. Stir very gently occasionally, adding more water if necessary to keep them covered. After 45 minutes remove beans from heat and allow to cool in the liquid until needed. (They will finish cooking with the rabbit.) STEP 2Pearman, Georgina (2005). Prance, Ghillean; Nesbitt, Mark (eds.). The Cultural History of Plants. Routledge. p.146. ISBN 0415927463.
