De la Vigne a la Table dans Cinq Minutes
I dunno but mabbee I'm actually becoming a blogger (of however dubious quality) because tonight when I went to pick beans for dinner (impulsive little beast that I am) I stopped and thought "Wait! I must take some photos first!"! So, here they are:
Purple beans are soooo easy to pick. Thank god 'cause I'll soon be picking them every 3 or 4 days. However clearly the stark contrast announces their presence, they have their own mystery: why do bean vines put out their leaves in three's and their beans in two's...
Here they are in all their pre-dinner splendor.
And, now, they must have heard that their moments are numbered because they've gone all green with trepidation. ...and strategically applied steam.
I wish I could show you how we enjoyed them but forks were flying and it didn't seem wise to put a camera in anyone's face!

Do you mean to say that purple beans become green when cooked? How disappointing....
They DO! As do purple artichokes and purple asparagus.
I was disappointed the first time too. But, if you've got a little kid around, it can be a tiny bit magical too. A friend got her son to eat some veggies that way. ;>
Lovely to see comments from you. I hope you didn't have to wait too long for a reply.
Best!
