Today in my veg box I have beans in a pod that is white and speckled pinky red....

[Skyler]

what are they and how should I cook them? TIA

Oh oh - I got those the other week. Have no idea what they are. I think I just boiled them in a little bit of water for a few minutes - they were lovely.

Did you slice them up like runner beans?

Yep exactly.

Perfect, thank you that is what I shall do.

Enjoy them! my veg box comes today - I must remember to ask the chap what they are.

Sound like borlotti beans

I also reckon they're borlotti beans. We grew loads this year and have dried most of them for lots of hearty winter bean dishes.

yum, borlotti beans, lucky you. simmer them in some chicken stack and thyme - and just eat

Thank you. I cooked them as a side veg but I don't think they can have been the same as yours Doggie as they were dry if you know what I mean. Perfect for soups and stews though so must be borlotti beans. I will know for next time though, thank you.
