Directions

  1. 1

    Peel, wash and cut the potatoes into pieces. Cover the potatoes and cook them in little boiling salted water for about 20 minutes

  2. 2

    Wash and clean the beans and break them 1-2 times. Wash the savory, shake dry and tie up with kitchen string. Peel and coarsely dice the onion. Heat the oil in a pot, brown the onion lightly and add 3/8 litres of water. Bring to the boil, add 1 tsp. salt, beans and savory. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes. Wash and halve the pears and cut them into thick slices. Add pears to the beans and continue cooking for 5-10 minutes

  3. 3

    Wash parsley, shake dry and chop. Warm the milk. Drain potatoes and mash with warm milk and fat. Season with nutmeg. Line an ovenproof dish with bacon so that a third to half of each slice hangs over the edge of the dish.

  4. 4

    Put the mashed potatoes into the form and spread them lightly. Drain the beans and pears and collect the vegetable stock. Remove the savory. Fold parsley into the beans and spread on the mashed potatoes. Pour in approx. 150 ml vegetable stock and cover the beans with the overhanging bacon slices.
