GRILLED ROMANO BEANS
My husband came home yesterday with green Romano beans he bought at our local farmers' market and I was thrilled because we don't see them too often! What a rare treat! As far as preparing the beans, simple and quick is best and I usually steam or lightly sautè however this time I tried a stove top grill pan. If you are fortunate to find (or grow) yellow or purple Romano beans, replace a portion of the green ones for yellow/purple beans in this recipe. The garlic is my addition as is the cheese and although the latter is my contribution it is optional. *Be careful how much you salt the beans especially if you are adding the optional cheese- remember the cheese is salty, too.* Perfect all on its own, as a side dish, or as a delicious ingredient in warm weather salads or arranged over fresh pasta.

ROMANO BEANS!
We have a lot of green beans this year. I figured out what to do with the small tender beans, but the Romanos are different... tasty, but different.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender romano beans: Look for beans that are bright green in color and have no blemishes. Avoid beans that are limp or have brown spots.
- Trim the beans: Before cooking, trim off the ends of the beans. You can also remove the strings from the beans if desired.
- Blanch the beans: Blanching the beans helps to preserve their color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Immediately transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Grill the beans: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the beans with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the beans for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are tender and slightly charred.
- Serve the beans: Grilled romano beans can be served immediately or at room temperature. They are a great side dish for grilled meats, fish, or poultry.
Conclusion:
Grilled romano beans are a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for summer cookouts. They are easy to make and can be prepared in just a few minutes. With their bright green color and slightly charred flavor, grilled romano beans are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
