My latest "discovery" is locally grown flageolet beans. Picked up a small bag at the farmer's market a couple of months ago. The first time I used them was with a lamb shank braise....I was so happy with the end results. I will definitely be buying more in the fall when they become available again. I also bought a small bag of their black beans and am really looking forward to working with them.

Love the bean co. recommendation!!! Good dried beans are hard to find (so many are too old and don't cook up right) and looks like they have some fascinating varieties. I'm partial to pink beans + rice with all kinds of spices but looks like I need to expand my bean horizons!

Your cabbage and bean soup sounds fabulous. Saving!

My favorite bean is Rio Zape from Rancho Gordo.

Your cabbage and bean soup sounds just prefect to warm a winter night. I will definitely try it. My Nonna used to make Savoy cabbage and beans often. Not a soup, but I imagine similar flavors.

Thank you Domenica

I recently made something like this - Zuppa alla canavesana - and it is VERY good! This soup had no beans but similar flavors. It’s a delicious early Spring meal.
