The Classic French Bean
28 September 2017
Flageolet beans—from Rancho Gordo, champions of preserving heirloom beans from California and around the world—are known for their delicate flavor and supple, creamy texture.
These oblong, pale green-hued beans are a staple in Southern French cooking, and—bien sûr!—they're the star ingredient in classic cassoulet. These tiny chic beans also make an elegant addition to bean salads, soups and sautés.
Our tip: Cook a big pot of beans and use them all week long for easy, satisfying meals in a snap.
