Grilled Romano Beans with Agrodolce
Grilled Romano Beans with Agrodolce It's an elegant Italian side dish, completely 100% plant-based! Broad, tender Romano beans are grilled to a beautiful charred finish and a slightly smoky aroma, then drizzled with agrodolce sauce - the perfect blend of sweet and sour flavors.With no animal ingredients whatsoever, the flavors are perfectly balanced: a soft crunch from the peanuts, a gentle sweetness from the sugar, and a refreshing sourness from the vinegar. Simple yet full of character, it makes for a refreshing and very appetizing dish!
