“Isar” yellow french bean
Posted in featured selections on Feb 4th, 2007
A slender, yellow “haricot vert” or French fillet bean, Isar is about 4″ long. Straight and tender, these beans are meant to be harvested early and often. Served at many of the finest restaurants, French fillet beans are a tender, stringless variety of snap bean. Ideally, boil them for about 4 minutes, then shock them in an icy bath to preserve their color and stop cooking. To serve warm, sauté them in butter or olive oil, or simply serve cold à la niçoise.
