Method

In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix well. Form into a loaf 10 to 12 inches long and 4 to 5 inches wide (form it to fit the pan). Wrap the loaf in cheesecloth and tie at both ends. Poach this atop the bean stew. Let cool a bit before slicing. Some squeeze lemon juice on at the table.
