Flageolet Bean Salad (Salade De Flageolets) Recipe



Flageolet Bean Salad (Salade De Flageolets) Recipes

Ingredients :

225g (8 oz) dried flageolet beans

1.7 liters (3 pints) stock

1 bouquet garni

250ml (8 fl oz) mayonnaise

30ml (2 tbsp) chopped fresh parsley

1 onion, skinned and finely chopped

a little milk or cream (optional)

Method :

Soak the beans overnight in plenty of cold water in a large saucepan. Drain the beans, then tip them back into the pan. Add the stock and bouquet garni. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer gently for about 75-90 minutes or until the beans are just tender; do not cook them until they begin to break.

Drain the beans. While they are still warm, stir in the mayonnaise, parsley and onion. Leave to cool for at least 2 hours before serving. If the dressing is then a little too thick when the beans have cooked, stir in the milk or cream.

Serves 6

You can use canned beans for this, but the flavor is definitely superior if you cook the dried beans in stock and turn them in the dressing while warm.
