Steps:
- prep: 20 mins cook: ca. 50 mins unattended Trim and wash the beans. Cut them into ca. 5cm long pieces. Peel the potatoes. If you have big ones, cut them into chunks. Wash the pears, but don't peel or cut anything off. Mince your herbs. In a big pot, place the speck slices and cover with cold water, around 2 cm. higher above the slices. Add pepper. Bring to a boil over medium heat and let simmer for 10 minutes. Add the beans, potatoes, pears and the savory, fill up with water if too much has boiled away. Let cook, over medium-high heat, for another 20 to 30 mins, until the beans and the potatoes are done and the water has pretty much boiled down. This is not a soup, but some liquid is necessary. Adjust salt. You can sprinkle some more herbs over individual bowls. [http://stellareaats.blogspot.com/2010/10/memories-of-birnen-bohnen-und-speck.html]
Tips:
- For the perfect combination of flavors, choose ripe, firm pears that are slightly sweet and not too soft.
- Use high-quality bacon for a smoky, savory flavor. Thick-cut bacon is recommended for a more substantial bite.
- To achieve crispy bacon, cook it over medium heat until it is browned and slightly charred around the edges.
- For a creamy and flavorful sauce, use a combination of heavy cream and chicken broth. You can also add a touch of white wine or lemon juice for extra depth of flavor.
- To ensure the green beans retain their bright green color and crisp texture, blanch them in boiling water for a few minutes before adding them to the skillet.
- Serve the dish immediately garnished with fresh parsley or chives for an extra pop of color and flavor.
