is hosting this week's Black & White Wednesday 

do send to elegancemeetschic AT yahoo DOT com your entries.

After the great festive party we need a pause from elaborated dishes,

better some healthier and natural food,

and legumes are pretty complete and satisfying.

Red Devil Beans

I discovered these giant dark beans some time ago,

they come from Tuscany, cultivated on the hills,

dried naturally on plants as they have a late harvest.

Delicate but intense taste, texture as a chestnut,
ideal for soups,
but excellent also just boiled and seasoned with extravirgin oil, salt and pepper:
they were my lunch today with some soft cheese.

I'm going to have a try in my garden next Spring,
climbing plants are very nice and can cover a fence,
but more than that, a single plant can produce one kilo of beans! :-)
