  1. I haven't had luck with romano beans yet - always mushy. I sauteed the veggies, using only 1/2 lb of onions, then simmered them in the chicken broth as directed. I checked them after approximately 10 minutes of simmering, and they were - perfect. After more time, the mush set in. I believe the secret to romano beans, as with other green beans, is to not overcook them, IMHO.
     
  2. These were good and easy to make. I followed the recipe as written other then I used 1/2 cup of onion. I also didn't cook the onions first I just cooked everything together. We thought they could have used some pepper but otherwise enjoyed them.
