Haricot Beans with Onions Recipe ingredients

To prepare this Haricot Beans with Onions Recipe, first wash 1 pint of beans in two or three waters, pick out any discolored ones that there may be, and leave them to soak in plenty of cold water until the next day. Drain them, and boil them in fresh water until they are tender, but unbroken. Drain them once more, and put them on a dish in the oven to keep warm. Take 3 ounces of onions, which have been three-parts boiled and chopped small, fry these in 2 ounces of butter, and, whilst frying, mix with them the boiled beans. Stir them about with a fork, and moisten with a quarter of a pint of good brown gravy, rather highly seasoned. This is an excellent accompaniment to roast meat. Time, an hour and a half to boil the beans. Sufficient for four or five persons.
