So I haven’t seen these yet at the farmers market this year but I’m eagerly awaiting their arrival so that I can make these beans.  I’ve noticed that most recipes for broad flat beans call for braising. While I’m sure these sturdy, fleshy beans hold up well in liquid, I prefer not to have to have to overcook them for as long a time as required in a braise because they are pretty tender.  Grilling imparts a great smoky flavor.

Ingredients:

1/2 a pound of broad flat beans, such as Romano, or Dragon’s Tongue (purple and white marbled)

Olive oil

Garlic

1-2 T summer savory, finely chopped

Salt & pepper

Toss a mixture of the romano and dragon’s tongue in the olive oil, and add salt, pepper, and summer savory to taste.  Grill over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, 5-8 minutes.
