    Ingredients

    • Black turtle beans
    • Garlic
    • Lardons
    • Bay leaves
    • Olive oil
    • Salt

    Hints & Tips

    • Any pork sausage or smoked meat can be used instead of lardons.
    • Don’t overcook the beans; they should be tender but not mushy.
    • Don’t add too much water, otherwise the beans will be soupy.
