Braised green beans and roasted red peppers
Roast
Roasting
I share what I grow to pay back the kindnesses of friends and neighbors. A very long time ago, an Italian "friend" was quite excited to receive a few quarts of Romano beans and told me she'd give me a taste of the special way she cooked them. Sure enough, the next day, she came over with a sample--two very delicious still-warm beans steeped in olive oil, but she would not share the recipe because one day, these beans would make her rich and famous. Thirty years later, that hasn't happened, but she still refuses to give up the recipe, saying only that they were Italian in three ways. This is what I came up with: The Italian Romano beans are cooked in a sort-of Italian dressing and evoke the colors of the Italian flag with the red peppers and white cheese. (Reserve the oil from the skillet for another use, preferably for Italian Potato Salad.) - betteirene
