Note: The 2020 crop of Flageolets is smaller than previous years. It’s the same bean, but they will look slightly differentfrom what’s photographed here.

A creamy, mild bean, traditionally loved with spring lamb or incassoulet-type dishes, but we love them best with roasted garlic and tomatoes as a side dish with most anything. We owe a lot to France for developing the Flageolet from what were originally New World beans. It’s ultra-creamy and dense and it stays whole despite a little rough treatment when being cooked.
You can use Flageolet in many slow-cooked dishes. They seem like they’d be fragile and fall apart but they tend to stay whole, despite their delicate flavor and thin skins.
