A constant chef's favorite. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe beans are firm and stay whole, but you can keep cooking them and they'll go from starchy to creamy. Despite their thick skin, they exude a beautiful bean broth that needs little help to be enjoyed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScarlet Runners are one of the oldest cultivated foods of the Americas. If you grow them, you'll fall in love with their cheap, 1950s lipstick-colored flowers, which are edible. The hummingbirds love them and they're so pretty, some people grow Scarlet Runners for just their flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCooking Suggestions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePot beans, casseroles, salads, soups, chili\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the Rancho Gordo Kitchen\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScarlet Runners are versatile but we like to serve them with lots of wild mushrooms and slightly too much roasted garlic for a meaty treat, vegetarian style!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause they are firm and hold their shape, they make a wonderful salad bean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCooking Instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck beans for debris, and rinse thoroughly. In a large pot, sauté aromatic vegetables (onions, garlic, celery, carrot, etc.) in olive oil. Add beans and enough water to cover by about 2 inches. Bring to a full boil for 10 to 15 minutes. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer, using a lid to help regulate the heat, and gently cook until done, 1 to 3 hours. Salt when the beans start to soften. A pre-soak of 2 to 6 hours will lessen the cooking time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimilar to\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAyocote Morado, Ayocote Negro\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLatin name\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003ePhaseolus coccineus\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCountry of origin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUSA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rancho Gordo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53135688859942,"sku":"713757952804","price":7.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/1627\/6518\/files\/image-4_4.jpg?v=1777765887","url":"https:\/\/theambrosianpantry.com\/products\/rancho-gordo-scarlet-runner-bean","provider":"The Ambrosian Pantry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
