From the Test Kitchen

Cranberry beans aren’t just beautiful. They’re delicious. A variety of shelling or soup bean, these bright pods contain pale tan beans splashed with magenta. Most often, you’ll find them dried (and labeled “borlotti”). In this dish, we’re using them fresh—saving you valuable time in the kitchen, because you won’t have to soak them before use. During the cooking process, cranberry beans sadly lose some of their vivid color. But their creamy texture and hearty flavor remain. Stay fresh, chefs!
