Directions

  1. Cook the field apples, unpeeled, in salted water. Cook the beans separately in salted water, but do not overcook them; they should remain firm.

  3. Dice the bacon and brown it, then add it to the mixture.
  4. Garnish with chopped parsley and finely minced onion. ≈ 2 min
  5. Option 1: Thicken the sauce with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch.
  6. Variant 2: Sauté the onions in the bacon fat before adding them to the mixture. ≈ 3 min
  7. Deglaze the frying pan with vinegar, let it reduce for 2-3 minutes, pour the hot vinegar into the salad bowl, season with salt and pepper, and mix the ingredients thoroughly.
