1 cup dried be<strong>an</strong>s 1 t salt<br />

enough oil <strong>to</strong> fry the onions<br />

Soak the be<strong>an</strong>s overnight then simmer 4-6<br />

hours until tender. Chop up the onions fairly<br />

fine. Drain the be<strong>an</strong>s, use a food processor <strong>to</strong><br />

puree. Heat the wine <strong>an</strong>d add it. Put the be<strong>an</strong>s<br />

in each dish, fry the onions <strong>an</strong>d add. Broad<br />

be<strong>an</strong>s (fava be<strong>an</strong>s) would be more authentic<br />

th<strong>an</strong> pea be<strong>an</strong>s, but we have not yet tried them<br />

in this recipe.<br />

Funges<br />

(Forme of Cury no. 12)<br />

Take funges <strong>an</strong>d pare hem clene <strong>an</strong>d dyce<br />

<strong>to</strong> seeþ in gode broth. Colour it with safroun, <strong>an</strong>d<br />

½ lb mushrooms 6 threads saffron<br />

1 leek ¼ t powder fort (p. 4)<br />

1 c beef broth ¼ t salt<br />

or chicken broth<br />

Wash the vegetables; slice the leek finely<br />

<strong>an</strong>d dice the mushrooms. Add saffron <strong>to</strong> the<br />

broth <strong>an</strong>d bring it <strong>to</strong> a boil. Add the leek,<br />

mushrooms, <strong>an</strong>d powder fort <strong>to</strong> the broth,<br />

simmer 3-4 minutes, remove from the heat,<br />

<strong>an</strong>d serve.<br />

We prefer <strong>to</strong> use beef broth, but it is also<br />

good with chicken.<br />
