Kitchen know-how

Tips for Bean stew with bacon

Boil all green beans

Raw green beans contain incompatible phasin. They must be cooked in the boiling soup for at least ten minutes and must not only be heated for a short time.

Place potatoes first in the broth

Potato cubes take longer than finely sliced beans. After about ten minutes, beans and sautés are added so that both can be done together.

Check salt only after bacon

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

Variations

How to adapt this recipe

Leave out bacon, use vegetable broth and cook diced carrots with the potatoes. A little smoked paprika gives extra depth.

Cook two small solid cooking pears in wedges during the last 15 minutes. Leave out vinegar and season with pepper and savoury.
