Fi Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 About a 1000 years ago I stayed with a French family in the Vendee. They served up a dish of dried beans (mouget??) which I seem to recall involved about a tonne of butter and lots of garlic. It was very, very delicious. I have been wracking my brains trying to think of what the real name was and how it was cooked. Can anyone shed any light? It was served with sausages (no, not the appalling andouillette) I think.ThanksFi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fi Posted June 21, 2009 Author Share Posted June 21, 2009 Many thanks. The recipe for mogettes jambon looks familiar - I'm sure my hostess used lots more butter though! Fi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 You wanna be careful with those beans! Flatulence is the name of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
