Guest guest Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Canellini beans? They are in a recipe I found in the files and would like to make but even my grandmother doesn't know what they are. She usualy knows what everything is lol so I was surprised. Anyway we couldn't find them when we looked at walmart, which didn't surprise me, so where do you get them? Also what do they taste like? I thought I would like black beans beacuase I just thought a bean was a bean but I was in for a surprise. Must be an aquired tast? lol. I could probably leave the canellinis out of the meal but now I'm curious about them and feeling adventurous so I want to try them. Well so long as they aren't a pet name for something really awful lol. I suppose I could just go down to the health food store (I think we have one..), but I wanted to ask here first. Ya know just in case they were misspelled or something, or they were like regular kidney beans. I try to avoid public blonde moments when I can ~Leia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 I believe they are " white " or " blonde " kidney beans. ...nice to look at. I've used them in soups and chilis...but I generally use them mixed with other beans so I don't know the exact taste. ...not much different I assume. I like them and I as well usually just see 1 option down here at the market for those guys. S. , " Leia " <girlbaby16> wrote: > Canellini beans?

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Here is a link to a picture of them: http://store./chefshop/pitpancanbea.html These medium-size ivory kidney beans are popular in Tuscany where they are used in antipasti, soups, and pasta. Nutty, smooth, and creamy, cannellini bean readily take up the flavor of strong herbs, and so they are excellent all-purpose beans. Try them in warm dishes like Pasta e Fagioli, or take advantage of their texture by pureeing them instead of chickpeas for a smooth creamy homemade hummus. , " Leia " <girlbaby16> wrote: > Canellini beans?
