Bean ‘Silvio’s Yellow Flat’

Silvios Yellow Flat bean is more than just a delicious, prolific heirloom – its a living tribute to resilience, tradition, and the migrant story. Brought to Australia by Italian families from the Veneto region, near the Austrian border, this treasured bean has been lovingly passed down through generations, shared among tight-knit communities in places like Wonthaggi and generously brought to us by Andrew Henshaw.

Finely dice an onion, top and tail beans (they have no strings). Boil or steam for about 3 minutes. Drain thoroughly. Immediately add onion and a little olive oil to the pot, mix and replace the lid immediately. Allow the flavours to blend for a few minutes, and ENJOY.
