  • Preparation: 15 min
  • Cooking: 30 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (483 g)
  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Diets: Gluten-free
  • Contains: dairy, pork, sulphite

Ingredients

  • 200 g Potatoes, waxy
  • 150 g Green beans
  • 5 g Butter
  • 60 g Smoked bacon lardons
  • 50 g Onion
  • 15 g Red wine vinegar
  • 0.2 g Black pepper
  • 3 g Parsley, fresh

Method

  1. Boil the potatoes in their skins for 20-25 minutes, until just tender. Peel them while warm and cut them into thick slices.
  2. Meanwhile, top the green beans and cook them in boiling water for 8-10 minutes, until tender but still bright green. Drain.
  3. Melt the butter in a large frying pan and fry the lardons over medium heat for 6-8 minutes, until golden and their fat has run.
  4. Add the chopped onion and fry for 4-5 minutes, until soft and golden.
  5. Pour in the vinegar, standing back as it spits, and let it bubble for 30 seconds, scraping up the browned bits from the pan.
  6. Add the warm potatoes and beans to the pan, grind over plenty of pepper and toss gently over low heat for 1-2 minutes, until coated and hot through.
  7. Scatter with the chopped parsley and serve warm, while the potatoes still soak up the dressing.
