No festive table is complete without sides to accompany hot and cold dishes. One of the traditional items on Polish tables is beans. Most often served hot with cabbage or peas. A modern take on beans is to serve them as a cold, sweet accompaniment with pepper and rosemary. Beans in this form pair well, for example, with pâté.
Notes
Recipe for beans with honey and rosemary
Preparation:
Soak the beans overnight in cold water. Then drain them and cover with fresh water. Cook in unsalted water until tender. Once the beans are tender, drain the water. Set the beans aside to cool. In a separate pot, bring the honey, lemon juice, and rosemary to a boil. Simmer for a few minutes over low heat. Heat 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan and add the drained beans. Fry until lightly browned on both sides. Place the beans in a jar and pour over the hot honey syrup. Season with coarsely ground pepper and salt. You can use large Jaś beans or smaller ones—then they will have a more intense flavor of the syrup and rosemary. Store in the refrigerator for about a week.
