Dragon’s Tongue Beans
These beautiful beans are a type of snap bean, with a crisp juicy texture like a green bean. They are stingless and you can eat the pod. They will turn white to green when they are cooked.
These are good quickly boiled in a big pot of water for a couple of minutes, then added to the recipe below.
3 T. olive oil
3/4 C. almonds, coarsely chopped
1 clove garlic, coarsely minced
2 T. capers
1.5 pounds green beans, prepared as above
Salt as needed
Heat the olive in a large skillet. Add the almonds and cook, stirring constantly for about 5 minutes, until they look and smell toasty. Add the garlic and stir a bit, then turn off the heat. Add the capers and green beans and turn with a spatula or tongs to mix, sprinkling with salt as you go.Market News
Hello!
It looks like we will finally get a frost this week. Thankfully we are equipped with hoophouses and row covers which will protect the crops through the winter. We’ll continue to have a great selection of veggies for you all year long! This week we have a ton of great greens, herbs, lettuces, winter squashes, and beans, and potatoes of all kinds. Enjoy the feast!
We also have the last of the seasons flowers – bunches of sunflowers and broom corn! A wonderful , cheerful Fall bouquet!
A REMINDER! The 4th of November is Daylight Savings Time. Because of it getting dark earlier, we will be moving up under the porch of Trinity Church, where we will have more light. We appreciate the good congregation of Trinity Church who are so accommodating and supportive of our business.
It is getting closer to Thanksgiving and plan on an ALL LOCAL one. We’ll be delivering on Tuesday, November 20th. We’ll have squashes and sweet potatoes, greens and lettuces, turnips and perhaps some other surprises. Plus, order your turkey from Wedge Oak Farm!
