I got a bunch of these today from a friend. I have had the long green beans and they were outstanding. BUt I cooked them as green beans for the most part.


These though even smaller in diameter, seem more like a skinny crowder pea instead of some red bean??

I googled and as usually sweet and spicy beans. 

I am definately am not going to shell the peas....LOL

Suggestions or ideas?

BTW I tryed to boil a handful tonight and it doesn't look promising.

Thanks in advance for any help.

OMG TUFF!! steaming doesn't work either!

I didn't boil the heck out of 'em Richie but I steamed the heck out of 'em. Did she say they were like crowder peas? Real dry outer husk with peas inside?

In that case I'll go start boiling some.

Maybe turn the water purple and I'll have a new Easter egg dye....LOL

See Ray someone always knows what to do......

I never doubt'd her. The same person last year brought me some of these supper long green beans, and I loved them.

But with these purple, the skin or husk is more dry. BTW I did Boil the H*** out of a bunch, almost tender but not bad.


Supper;

Fried chicken tenders, fried okra, fried butternut, a new tater (cooked with the purple beans), & purple beans w/ a little homemade bacon .....

Not a single complaint. BTW Thank your bride for me pretty please.
