By maredan

Ingredients

• 12 * 12 ounces white beans, soaked overnight in cold water, rinsed and drained
• 1 * 1 sprig thyme
• 1 * 1 bay leaf
• 1 * 1 garlic clove
• 1/2 * 1/2 onion
• * A generous spoonful of crème fraîche
• * salt and pepper to season

Preparation

Step 1

Directions

1. Put the beans in a large saucepan with plenty of head room. Add in the thyme, bay leaf, garlic, and onion. Cover with water, slap on a lid, bring to a simmer and cook gently until tender, 40 minutes. Drain the beans, plucking out the aromatics. Stir in crème fraîche (just enough to hold them together), and season with salt and pepper. Serve.
