Prized by many chefs, the Green Flageolet bean is sometimes called the "caviar" of beans. A small oval bean with a pleasing spring green hue and a delicate, rich, buttery flavour when cooked with a hint of grass. Its thin outer skin means no pre-soaking is required and it cooks tender in an hour with a smooth, creamy texture that’s low in starch. Flageolets are a common garnish for traditional French dishes including roast or braised lamb and can be found in French Cassoulet. Their tenderness makes them ideal for use in bean salads.
Cooking Instructions: Rinse beans. Put 1 cup of beans and 4 cups of water in a pot on medium heat and cover. Once water is boiling, reduce the heat to a medium low. Cook for 60-90 minutes or until tender. Add additional water if necessary to keep beans covered. Once cooked, drain the water. Optional: soak beans in water overnight.
A FRENCH CLASSIC – Flageolet beans are small, creamy, pale green beans with tender skin and a fine, delicate flavour much prized in France. They are actually small, young haricot beans that have been harvested and dried before they are fully ripe.
PREMIUM QUALITY – Prized by many chefs, the Green Flageolet bean is sometimes called the "caviar" of beans. A small oval bean with a pleasing spring green hue and a delicate, rich, buttery flavour when cooked with a hint of grass.
HOW TO PREPARE – Their thin outer skin means pre-soaking is not required, however it does allow for the beans to cook more quickly and evenly. We recommend putting the beans in a large pot and cover with cool water by 3 inches. Bring to a boil and boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 1 hour. Drain & rinse, then season or bring to a simmer and cook for about 30 minutes or until tender.
TRADITIONAL FRENCH GARNISH – Flageolets are a common garnish for traditional French dishes including roast or braised lamb and can be found in French Cassoulet. Their tenderness makes them ideal for use in bean salads.
OTHER USES – Cooks tender with a smooth, creamy texture that’s low in starch. Pairs perfectly with most lamb dishes, can be combined with various herbs to enhance flavour, or simply to increase the nutritional value of your next dinner.
