This recipe of romano beans is made both as an appetizer and main course. I cook this dish when I come from work hungry as it is very easy to cook. I prepare romano beans in small bags and put them in deep freezer in Summer, so in Winter I always have them almost ready.
Romano beans are rich in proteins, calcium, vitamins A, C and help our metabolism work, so I often cook this unique taste.

Great idea freezing the beans for later use! I’ll try your recipe next time I can get my hands on some good, fresh beans. It looks delicious!
How do you freeze the beans? Do you just shell them and freeze them, or do you have to prepare them in some other way before putting them in the freezer?
Barb, I just shell them, put into bags and then freeze.
