Borlotti Beans
by Riso Carena
Product #5001
Absolutely fabulous heirloom beans, these legumes are the equivalent of eating a beefsteak. They are full of proteins, tender, flavorful, and a valid substitute to meat. This particular variety of Borlotti are among the best you can find in any market, even in Italy.
Suggested use:
Use in Pasta e Fagioli, in which the beans are prepared with pasta and served as a semi dry soup. Soak the Borlotti overnight, then cook them in a pot until half done. In a separate pan, saute' a chopped onion in extra virgin olive oil. Add 1/2 cup of tomato sauce, 1 stalk of celery, 1 cup of stock and cook for 15-20 minutes. Add the beans, 1/2 cup of uncooked pasta per person, and cook until done. We like adding Ditali. Add a little extra virgin olive oil and serve hot.
