Creamy Catalan Beans with Delicate Skins
Ganxet beans are a traditional Catalan white bean recognised by their distinctive curved shape, creamy texture and delicate, barely noticeable skin.
Their mild, natural flavour makes them excellent for salads, tapas, vegetable dishes, seafood and traditional Mediterranean cooking.
Ganxet beans are a traditional white bean from Catalonia, named after their characteristic hook-like or curved shape.
They are especially appreciated for their tender interior, creamy texture and fine skin, which becomes barely noticeable when eaten.
Careful preparation preserves the clean flavour of the bean without covering it with sauces, spices or unnecessary seasoning.
This makes Ganxet beans an excellent ingredient when the quality and texture of the legume should remain clearly present in the dish.
Drain and combine with tomato, red onion, fresh herbs and extra virgin olive oil for a simple and satisfying salad.
They are also particularly suited to empedrat, the traditional Catalan combination of beans, salt cod, tomato, peppers and olives.
Their creamy texture pairs beautifully with salt cod, tuna, anchovies, clams, prawns and grilled or roasted octopus.
Serve warm with garlic, parsley and olive oil, or use as a soft base beneath fish and shellfish.
Ganxet beans work equally well with mushrooms, spinach, artichokes, roasted peppers and tomato.
They can be added to soups and stews or gently warmed with herbs and vegetables for a refined side dish with very little preparation.
