Green Beans in Cream Sauce

01Method

1. 1

   Rinse the potatoes, cut them into pieces, and simmer in salted water until completely tender.

2. 2

   Trim both ends from the green beans, cut into 5 cm sections, rinse thoroughly, and cook in water with salt, sugar, and vinegar for about 7 minutes. Drain and reserve the cooking liquid.

3. 3

   Heat the butter in a large pot, sauté the diced onion and the finely chopped bacon pieces until fragrant. Dust with flour, stir briefly, then add the reserved bean liquid to create a thick sauce. Whisk well, season with salt and pepper, add the beans, and simmer gently for 10 minutes.

   Finally, fold in the sour cream using a whisk. If needed, thin the sauce with additional bean cooking liquid to reach the desired consistency.

   While the sauce finishes, boil the eggs for 6 minutes in a separate pot, then peel and serve alongside the creamed beans and potatoes.
