About this recipe

Notes

  • This recipe also can be used for fresh butter beans.
  • I recently "discovered" a variety of bean called the Jade Bean.  So far, I have only found it in Farmers' Markets in some parts of southwestern Michigan during the summer growing season.  It is spectacularly delicious, and worth the extra effort to find it!
