Gigot d’Agneau à la Bretonne

Brittany is famous for the lambs which graze on marshes swept by sea winds. These ‘pré-salé’ (salt-meadow) sheep are found particularly near Mont St Michel and on the Crozon peninsula near Brest. Dried white beans flavoured with tomatoes are the standard accompaniment. In the USA, great northern, navy or pea beans can be used instead of French haricot beans.
