flageolets

immature white beans

Canned flageolet beans

Flageolets are white beans picked before they are ripe and still pale green, then dried.

You can find them dried or tinned; they star in the classic Easter dish, gigot d’agneau aux flageolets n cooked with onions, herbs and butter and served alongside a leg of lamb, with plenty of herbs, garlic and juices.
