Here is the recipe for flageolet beans with cream and ham that my mother used to make for us when we were children. It’s a very simple dish, quick to prepare, and both hearty and delicious!
If you’re not sure how to introduce your children to flageolet beans—a tender and flavorful variety of bean—they’re sure to love this recipe. In this recipe, the flageolet beans are coated in a sauce made with crème fraîche and chunks of ham (or bacon), and seasoned with a little pepper.
The result is a creamy, indulgent dish that’s simply irresistible—you’ll want to keep eating it!
For example, you can serve these flageolet beans with cream and bacon/ham as a side dish with steamed fish or grilled meat. But you can also prepare them as a main course, with white rice, for instance, which they’ll flavor and coat with their creamy sauce.
Enjoy your meal!
Delicious and easy to make… a handy "pantry meal" right now, as long as you have some bacon bits and crème fraîche in the freezer 😉
