Romano beans in garlic tomato sauce is a dish I make frequently during the summer. While shopping at the farmers market you’ll find an abundance of varieties to choose from. This type of bean is flat, wide and has a more dense flavor than the more common green beans. Serve it with a bowl of your favorite rice or bulgur pilaf recipe. Vegetarians will love this recipe and it’s one that’s popular at brunches during the month of Lent.
