Preparation

1. Peel, core and slice the pears. Simmer them in water for 10 minutes, then add the beans. Cook them until almost done but still a vivid green.
2. Meanwhile, fry the bacon until crisp. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels. Add the vegetables, toss in the fat and add the remaining ingredients. Cover and simmer until the beans are cooked.
3. Crumble the bacon over the pears and beans and serve.

• This goes well with mashed potatoes.
