What makes it French style? Using a mirepoix (finely chopped carrot, onion and celery, sautéed for 10 mins) as the base, and adding a can of chopped tomatoes and 3x crushed cloves of garlic, bay leaf and a big pinch of dried thyme, plenty of black pepper. Then in goes a litre of veg or chicken broth.
I tend to use at least half a pack of streaky bacon, cut quite finely, which goes into the mirepoix after it’s been sautéing for about 5mins.
Will add some piccies tonight. [emoji4]
As someone who loves beans, peas and pulses in any form, that sound good to me.

That should've sat nicely on a bed of washed but uncooked baby leaf spinach.Quote:

It sits far more nicely on the rice, IMHO. Uncooked baby leaf spinach is perilously close to being salad and that has no place on a gentleman’s plate!
Mrs. B is out this evening so it’s Aberdeen Angus burgers at Beobloke Towers tonight. :)
Nah, wild rice is the perfect accompaniment!Quote:

Marco.
Naughty boy, she told me you needed more greens in your diet, to improve your 'performance'. Can't think what she was referring to!:DQuote:
