This recipe adds variety to the Hopi diet and is quite tasty. The mature bean pods are cooked and served whole and are eaten with the fingers. When you put a bean into your mouth, you hold onto the end of the pod and draw the bean forward between your teeth to remove the string. The strings are then deposited on the rim of the plate. |
