SUMMER VEGETABLE SALAD

Steps:

• Put the shelling beans in a pot with water just to cover. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, a good pinch of salt and herb sprig. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer for about 30 minutes, until beans are tender. Remove from heat, but let beans remain in their broth to stay moist.
• Meanwhile, bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the Romano beans and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, leaving them slightly al dente. Drain and spread the beans out on a large plate to cool.
