Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups fresh borlotti beans
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 2 bay leaves
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Shell the beans and place them in a pot with the garlic clove (no need to peel it) and the bay leaves.

  2. Cover entirely with water and turn on the heat to medium.

  3. Cook, lid on, but leaving a little opening, about 40 minutes, or until fork-tender.

  4. While the beans cook, you have time to browse through the Simposio cookbooks and find the one that speaks to your kitchen soul.

  5. Every now and then, check and add water if necessary.
  6. When thoroughly cooked, salt beans to your taste.
