Kitchen know-how

Tips for Bean stew with bacon

Cook the green beans completely

Raw green beans contain intolerant phasin. They must cook in the boiling soup for at least ten minutes and not just be heated briefly.

Add potatoes to the broth first

Potato cubes take longer than finely chopped beans. After about ten minutes, beans and savoury are added to the mix, so that both are done together.

Check salt only after the bacon

Bacon and broth already bring salt. Therefore, first try the finished bean stew and only then carefully season.

Variations

How to adapt this recipe

Omit the bacon, use vegetable stock and cook diced carrots with the potatoes. A little smoked paprika adds depth.

Cook two small, firm cooking pears in wedges for the last 15 minutes. Omit the vinegar and season the stew with pepper and savoury.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ about Bean stew with bacon

Yes. Add frozen beans directly into the boiling stock and cook for at least ten minutes, depending on the thickness of the beans.

Raw beans contain the protein phasin, which can cause gastrointestinal problems. Sufficient cooking makes it harmless; short heating is not enough.

Mash some soft potato cubes with a fork and stir in again. After a few minutes of cooking, the potato starch binds the broth.

It will be stored in the fridge for about two days, when quickly cooled and closed. Once eaten again, heat it completely and evenly.
