Brown Beans with Pork
Also known as: Bruna bönor med fläsk
Swedish brown beans with syrup, vinegar and crisp fried pork.
About Brown Beans with Pork
Henrik Mattsson’s bruna bönor med fläsk is presented as classic Swedish home cooking. It pairs homemade brown beans with fried pork and boiled potatoes, with grated carrot and mixed green salad as optional additions.
Spirit vinegar and syrup give the beans their sour-and-sweet balance. Salt and white pepper season the bean mixture, while pork contributes a savoury element alongside it.
The beans soften and begin to split, with potato starch giving their liquid a saucy consistency. Crisp pork slices and boiled potatoes accompany them, preserving distinct bean, meat and potato portions on the plate.
