White beans au gras

Another recipe from From the Hearth, we first made this without the beef (as the authors note, this is an option for “non-meat days”). It was a hit with our kid! We then later made it with the beef – both are great!

Ingredients

1 cup white beans, soaked
1/2-1 lb beef rump, cubed
2 carrots (or other root vegetables)
2 cups bouillon

Bouquet garni:
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp thyme
1 bay leaf
1 tsp parsley

Instructions

Soak beans overnight. 

Drain beans and add the remaining ingredients. 

Bring to a boil and simmer for about 2 hours, or until beans are tender. 

Remove herb bouquet (I left it in - nice and herby). 

The liquid will reduce to make a thick sauce. 

We actually made this dish in our Instant Pot. It was set for 35 mins on high pressure, and then the lid was removed to reduce the liquid using the sauté feature.

Unfortunately, we ate most of the non-meat version before taking photos!

The Verdict

Definitely one we will make again! Our five-year-old really liked it, and so did we.
