A little more to discover
Here, fèves au lard names a baked-bean dish. The reference recipe uses dried white beans, salt pork, maple syrup and molasses. The beans are soaked before a long oven cooking time. These are the ingredients and method of one version among the recipes people use.
Find the small rounded shapes and distinguish them from the dish itself. Talk about patience: some foods require several stages before serving. Keep the activity simple by inventing a story about setting a table while an imaginary dish cooks.
