ONE PIC FROM TODAY
ONE THING I DID TODAY
Cooked this wonderful find for dinner.
After using dried borlotti beans all my life, I discovered the joys of the freshly shelled and cooked version in my local fruit and veg shop a couple of months before I left Fremantle. They are creamy and soft and subtle. I tried to find them in the Adelaide Central Markets, but no-one had heard of them. Then, having accepted long ago that I would not find any here, I found a huge pile at the Showgrounds Farmers Market on Sunday.
So….
Ingredients:
- Freshly shelled borlotti beans
- Three bruised garlic cloves
- Half a tomato (I used cut up cherry tomatoes)
- Three sprigs of thyme
- Two bay leaves
Boil all together for 40 minutes or so, until the beans are creamy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove just the beans from the pot.
- 6. Olive oil
- 7. Balsamic vinegar
- 8. Ground black pepper
- 9. Sea salt
- 10. Italian parsley leaves
Season the beans and toss in the parsley.
Serve on their own. Or with freshly roasted capsium and brown rice, like I did.
