Fagiolini di Sant'Anna just the way we make them in Tuscany. Native to this area, these unusually long beans are prepared and enjoyed in many different ways, but are most commonly stewed with fresh tomatoes. Traditionally prepared and served in the Middle Ages, this native green bean presents itself with not only a very delicious and distinct flavor, but also with an unusual appearance as it is very long, and narrow in size. Needless to say, because of its length this bean has been called with several names, such as fagiolino serpente (snake bean), fagiolo da metro (meter long green bean), spago (string), or frusta (whip). The length of these beans can reach up to 50cm, 11"-12" long. Today we are transforming these Yardlong beans into a delicious side that will leave you incredibly satisfied.
