Or, if you grow a lot of Roma pole beans, shell the later season beans that are too tough to eat as green beans and get left on the vine. I pick them just when the pods start to dry out for a treat that's completely different than if you let them dry completely. Either way, boil them in water until tender and dress them with the remaining ingredients.
Sounds good, will have to try them next year like that. My beans are toast now for the season.
