They were beautiful, these cannellini runner beans, and they bloomed all summer long. It should have been a big success, but it wasn't. Big plants, but not many beans. I guess the bees were in love somewhere else.
Overall, I got around one cup of beans. Oh well, not a whole lot for all that vegetation. One might say, "try again next year." More likely, I'll try my luck with something else instead.
However, once those babies had their overnight soak, they magically became two cups of beans. Cooking them was quick and easy, and with a simple dressing - a splash of rosemary olive oil, juice from a lemon, some red onion, salt and pepper - they were damn good.
I'm still going to try something else in their place.
