This is an easy bean to grow. It is very tasty and very beautiful. Everyone should purchase it! You will get a great amount of beans and do not have to plant but a few beans.

Bird Egg Bean Medley
Shuck a nice pile of bird egg beans right when they are at their plumpest. Compost the empty pods. Get a frypan going on medium heat with a tablespoon of olive oil in it. Peel a little garlic. Chop the garlic and toss it in the frypan along with the beans. Stir fry for a minute or two. Salt the beans now and stir fry a bit more. Add a small amount of water (1/2 cup and a couple of medium tomatoes (chop if you want) and cover and let simmer for 20 minutes. Then add pieces of red pepper and a generous amount of sweet corn cut from the cob and steam more until corn is tender–maybe 5 to 8 minutes. Serve over brown rice. r

Deep freeze coming in two days, the day after Labor Day. Going to cook these just like this after garden is picked. Sigh.
