Today I am adding to our Recipes from Puglia collection a recipe taught to me by my friend Mino, Fagiolini con pomodori.

Fagolini are green beans, small and tender, akin to french beans. If I am honest am not a fan of beans, not much of a fan of green vegetables at all. I have to make myself eat green veg from time to time.
That all changed when I had lunch with, now retired chef, Mino and his wife Val, a few weeks ago. Mino served as part of the Antipasti his Fagolini. I loved them.
