Originally developed for upscale European markets as Haricot Vert, Nickel Filet beans produce abundant crops on sturdy compact plants and mature at just 3 to 4 inches long and 1/4 inch in diameter. The tender pods need only brief cooking and little extra adornment. Cherished by fine Bistros adn restaurants, these delicate gems need only to be lightly steamed and tossed with a little butter and fresh herbs.
