FRENCH FLAGEOLET BEANS

Categories     side-dish

Time 14h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound dried flageolet beans
2 tablespoons good olive oil
4 ounces bacon, diced
2 cups medium-diced yellow onion (2 onions)
2 cups medium-diced fennel, trimmed and cored
2 carrots, scrubbed and medium-diced
4 teaspoons minced garlic (4 cloves)
2 cups canned beef or vegetable broth
2 bay leaves
1 large sprig fresh rosemary
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • The night before cooking, place the beans in a large bowl and cover them with water by 1 inch. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • The next day, preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Drain the beans, rinse well, and drain again. In a large ovenproof pot such as Le Creuset, heat the olive oil over medium to medium-low heat, add the bacon, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until the bacon starts to brown. Add the onion, fennel, and carrots and cook for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften but aren't browned. Add the garlic and saute for 1 to 2 more minutes.
  • Add the flageolets to the pot and stir in the broth, bay leaves, and rosemary. (Don't be tempted to add salt! The beans will become tough.) Add 2 cups of water, which should just cover the beans, and bring to a simmer on top of the stove. Cover the pot tightly and bake in the oven for 45 minutes. Remove the lid, stir in 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper, and return the pot to the oven without the lid. Raise the temperature to 350 degrees and bake for 30 to 45 more minutes. The beans will be very tender and there will be just a little liquid in the bottom of the pan. (If the beans are dry, add a little more water.) Discard the bay leaves and rosemary. Taste for seasonings and serve hot.

Categories     salads and dressings

Time 1h

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup dried flageolets
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Place the flageolet in a saucepan and cover to a depth of two inches with cold water. Allow to soak for four hours or overnight.
  • Rinse and drain the beans, cover again with water to a depth of two inches, bring to a simmer and cook gently for about 45 minutes, until they are tender. In the beginning of the cooking you may have to skim some foam from the surface. Also, add a little more water if necessary.
  • Drain the cooked flageolet, then season with salt and pepper. Fold in the garlic, rosemary and olive oil. Serve at room temperature. This dish benefits from being allowed to stand at least one hour before serving.

Tips:

  • To save time, use canned or pre-cooked flageolet beans. If using dried beans, soak them overnight before cooking.
  • Frisée lettuce is a delicate green with a slightly bitter taste. You can substitute another type of lettuce, such as butterhead or romaine, if you prefer.
  • Make the vinaigrette dressing ahead of time and let it sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • To add a smoky flavor to the salad, grill the bacon before adding it to the salad.
  • Garnish the salad with chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or tarragon.

Conclusion:

Whether you're looking for a light and refreshing lunch or a hearty and satisfying dinner, flageolet bean and frisée salad is a delicious and easy-to-make option. With its combination of creamy beans, bitter greens, and tangy vinaigrette, this salad is sure to please everyone at the table.
