Description
The borlotti bean is a variety of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) first bred in Colombia as the cargamanto. Bred in Italy to have a thicker skin, borlotti beans have a rich creaminess to them, similar to a cannellini bean, which is also in the kidney bean family. There’s a hint of nutty sweetness to the legume. It also has a smooth texture, making it a bean that works well cold, hot, at room temperature, and in a salad.
The borlotti bean is a versatile legume that can be exchanged for just about any item in the kidney bean family. That means instead of white beans add the borlotti, or if the recipe calls for dark kidney beans, then lighten it up with this colorful option. Try them in soups, as a side dish, stews, and salads.
