Schusters, our Kleiin-Winternheim farmers, have the new season’s beans on the market in Mainz.
Nothing better than to boil them until they’re still al dente together with a couple of sprigs of summer savoury (Satureja hortensis) or Bohnenkraut – Bean herb – as it’s called here, mix them with minted new potatoes, some finely chopped spring onions and a vinaigrette using decent olive oil.
And decent vinegar.
Now crisp some pancetta and crumble it over the top.
Excellent.

>I deliberate purchased a variety of beans at the market today to try your recipe with Yukon yellow potatoes. I will have to substitute herbs because I’m unfamiliar with what you mentioned.
>Since I’m fasting for a blood test later today, I should not be reading this!!
>Sounds great. What time should I arrive for dinner? 🙂
>Ummm Yummm that sounds delightful. There is nothing like fresh herbs and veggies.
>Cute title. I like to have my vegetables fresh too if I can get them.
>Wow. It all sounds good and my mouth is watering in anticipation.Abraham LincolnThe four hour flower
