Flageolets En Pissenlits (Beans With Dandelion Greens) image

This comes from Michael Robert's "Parisian Homecooking" and is a typical flageolot dish--and typically served with lamb. Any bitter green--chard, sorrel, collard--can be substituted for the dandelion greens.

Time 3h40m

Yield 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb dried flageolet beans
1 onion, minced
1 carrot, peeled and finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (or a sprig of fresh thyme)
1/2 teaspoon dried savory (or a sprig of fresh savory)
1 1/2 cups dandelion greens, chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons salt
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Soak the dried beans in warm water for at least two hours; drain.
  • Place the beans in a flameproof casserole with the onion, carrot, garlic and herbs, and add enough water to cover the beans by one inch.
  • Cover and bring just to the boil over medium heat.
  • Immediately reduce the heat and simmer for about an hour, adding additional water if necessary to keep beans covered.
  • Add the greens and continue to cook for another thirty minutes or until the beans are creamy.
  • Remove from the heat, swirl in the butter and season with the salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve immediately.
