"Just because I am a chef doesn't mean I don't rely on fast recipes. Indeed, we all have moments when, pressed for time, we'll use a can of tuna and a tomato for a first course. It's a question of choosing the right recipes for the rest of the menu."
Jacques Pepin, Chef

The refrigerator light goes on...

I had beans similar to this at a little neighborhood restaurant in London and had to recreate them. They are great served with lamb meatballs, but as a side to a simple steak you have a perfect, easy meal.
