French beans · rare
Beurre de Rocquencourt
A golden-yellow wax bean with a silky, buttery texture quite unlike a green bean, and a name that's a small pleasure to say. The yellow pods show up beautifully against the leaves, which makes the picking easy and the harvest lovely to look at.
in the kitchen
Yellow beans with tarragon
Boil the golden pods until just tender, then dress them warm with butter, fresh tarragon and a squeeze of lemon. The yellow beans and pale green tarragon make a quietly beautiful plate.
