“The banks...were beautiful; lovely flowers, venerable trees, and slopes with sheep and cows, but not a human being was to be seen.”
-Hans Cristian Anderson, The Snow Queen
There’s a certain type of magic that happens in nature and gardens in fairy tales. Overgrown trees, a chorus of wind through the flowers, food springing to life from a tiny seed- how much more magic can something get?!
Fairytales often weave the magic of nature into their stories. The secret garden, Thumbelina, who slept under a cover of rose petals, the Princess and the Pea...so many of our favorite stories of wonder are inspired by plants and nature. The original Rapunzel story, the pregnant queen craved a particular fresh vegetable so bad, she risked the wrath of the evil witch to get it!
The beans in this recipe might not be magical, but they taste just as good as the ones that grow into oversized beanstalks! Without all the pesky landscaping and giants. These garden vegetable wraps taste just like Peter Rabbit himself picked the vegetables bursting with flavor. Use your favorite vegetables, plant-based sauces and spreads to alter to your personal taste!
