Bean Trionfo Violetto

Gorgeous Italian Heirloom - One of the Prettiest

Item #: 470 Pole Bean Trionfo Violetto - 1 seed packet (1 oz) $4.75 Qty:

Recipe

Purple Bush Bean with Roasted Red Pepper Mayonnaise
The spectacular purple color of these beans fades to a deep green when cooked. Try this lovely dipping sauce, which makes a nice color contrast.

Drop Purple Bush beans into a kettle of boiling salted water, cook 3 minutes or until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water. Mix together 1/2 cup homemade mayonnaise with 2 cloves crushed minced garlic, juice from 1 lemon and 1 large roasted red pepper, finely chopped. Season with a pinch of cayenne pepper. Serve on the side or drizzled over cooked beans.

Description

Heirloom. With dark green, purple veined leaves and deep lavender flowers, this Italian heirloom is one of the prettiest plants you can grow, even if you never eat a bean. Grow on a trellis, or let it ramble over a porch railing or fence. The vigorous vines yield long, deep purple stringless beans of excellent flavor.
