To prepare these beans, you can simply drain them if they are canned and heat them gently on the stovetop with a little butter or oil. They can also be added directly to simmering soups or stews during the last few minutes of cooking to warm through. For casseroles, they are often combined with creamy sauces and other vegetables before baking. When used in salads, they can be served chilled or at room temperature, dressed with vinaigrettes or creamy dressings.
