About

This is a sort of template recipe: beef, wild boar or venison can replace the lamb, which can be neck or shoulder; and pheasant, the partridge. The stew can be cooked in advance.

Ingredients

400 g (14 oz) haricot beans
500 g (1

Method

Soak the beans overnight in cold water.

The next day, remove the rind from the bacon and add to the beans in a large saucepan of cold water. Bring to the boil, then drain, replenishing with fresh cold water. Bring to the boil, skim, and add the onion, chilli, bay leaves and rosemary. Simmer gently for about 2 hours, topping up the water and skimming occasionally, until tender.
