Fasolka po bretońsku – “Breton bean”

🍜🥓 Nie ma to jak tradycyjna polska “Fasolka po bretońsku” ,nothing better than a bit of a Polish meal ”Breton bean” in English…

I still remember when my mum used to make, and it used to be one of my favourite polish dishes, so easy yet so good.

Ingredients for 2 portions :-

• Canned white beans, canned cannellini beans,

• 200g smoked thick bacon

• 250 g of smoked polish sausage, I used “ślaska” (pork & beef smocked and scalded sausage)

• 1 big onion

• 3 garlics gloves

Method :-

• Cut the bacon into square cubes, place them on the medium skillet pan and fry for a little,
• Take the bacon off, chop the onion & sausage, fry on the left over oil from the bacon, add the garlic ( don’t chop or grate the garlic, just crush and put whole) – keep on frying for another 3 minutes.
• To the frying ingredients add the bacon & beans, fry for another 5 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes and passata, add all the herbs – marjoram, bay leaves, allspice, ( salt and pepper – optional) – boil/ simmer for 10/15 minutes until nice and thick.
