Ingredients for 2 servings:

  • 400 g green beans
  • 3 large potatoes
  • n. B. savory
  • 750 ml milk, 3.5%
  • 2 tomatoes
  • 200 ml cream
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • salt and pepper
  • n. B. herbal vinegar

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour

Trim the beans and chop into 2-3cm pieces. Peel and dice the potatoes. Cook both with a little salt and savory for about 15 minutes. Then drain and top up with milk. Add the diced tomatoes and simmer for another 15 minutes over medium heat. Stir constantly, or the milk will burn! Finally, add the cream and butter. Season with savory, herb vinegar, pepper, and salt. Be careful with the vinegar, or it will curdle (I personally use 1 tablespoon while cooking and add an additional 1 tablespoon to my plate). I personally love bacon pancakes cut into eighths, but vegetarian toast will certainly work too.
