Magic Beans

So truly, we meant to do something creative with the gorgeous purple beans we received today. I mean, look at these beauties!



We had a lentil salad in mind, inspired by a delicious lunch at Public in New York City last month. We were thinking a shallot vinaigrette, perhaps some walnuts, some tomatoes, some avocado. Maybe some basil or mint.

But then we cooked the beans, for about four minutes, in boiling, well-salted water. And here is what happened:




They changed color! And it was so exciting. . . and they were so delicious. . . that we ate them straight from the pot, with just a bit of salt.

Magical!
