Tender Flat Beans with Delicate Skins
Plancheta beans are elongated white beans with a slightly curved, flat shape and an especially tender texture.
Their delicate skins are barely noticeable, making them ideal for stews, sautés, salads, soups and warm vegetable dishes.
Plancheta beans take their name from their elongated, slightly kidney-shaped and notably flat appearance.
Their tender interior and very fine skin create a delicate texture while preserving the clean, natural flavour of the bean.
Their shape holds well in casseroles, soups and vegetable stews while allowing them to absorb stock, olive oil, herbs and cooking juices.
Use them with tomato, onion, garlic, peppers or leafy vegetables for comforting dishes with a clear Mediterranean character.
Drain and gently sauté with garlic, parsley, olive oil and a little smoked paprika.
They also combine well with mushrooms, artichokes, spinach, roasted peppers or caramelised onion as a warm side dish.
Serve cold with tomato, red onion, fresh herbs and a vinaigrette for a simple bean salad.
For a more complete dish, combine with tuna, salt cod, anchovies, roasted vegetables, boiled egg or olives.
Plancheta beans work naturally with pork, chorizo, chicken, fish and shellfish.
Their tender texture also makes them suitable for gratins, rice dishes, vegetable fillings and creamy bean purées.
