Mr Slater speaks very plainly in this chapter when referring to the beans. Dried beans as we all know usually require soaking overnight but did you know ( I didn't) that they should be drained and then rinsed the next day as this ".....reduces the oligosaccharides........." Oligosaccharides are apparently the indigestible sugars that make us fart !!!!!! Lesson learnt !!
The recipe A crisp-crusted hotpot of aubergines and beans.
Time consuming to make and my result was disappointing, despite the addition of rosemary, oregano, garlic and more this hotpot was quite tasteless. Even the topping of breadcrumbs, herbs and Parmesan was lacking in flavour .
Maybe it could have done with some seasoning.
The recipe said enough for 4 - there was more than enough for six!
