Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Wash the beans and remove and discard any damaged ones or any foreign material. Place the beans in a pot with the cold water and 1 teaspoon of the salt. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce the heat to low and cook until tender, 1 to 1 ½ hours. Let cool to lukewarm. (There should be only a little water remaining.)

  2. Step 2

    Place the lardons in a saucepan and saute over low heat, covered, for about 8 minutes. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, for about 5 seconds. Add the contents of the saucepan, fat and all, to the beans with their remaining cooking liquid. Add the parsley, vinegar, oil, salt and pepper to tastes and mix well. Serve at room temperature.
