Beautiful Borlottis

These may be more familiar to you when you think of them in their dried form - renowned for their pink speckled spots. But once cooked, they turn into these incredibly creamy, almost buttery like bean with a nutty and slightly sweet taste. Like most beans, they're incredibly versatile and hold up particularly well in soups, stews + pasta dishes.
