Instructions

Working time approx. 35 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 5 minutes

Peel the onion and cut into small cubes. Bring the piece of bacon, thyme, bay leaf, allspice, and diced onion to a boil in half a liter of water, then simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes. Remove the bacon, dry it, and coat it first in flour, then in egg, and finally in breadcrumbs (preferably from coarsely grated, dried bread rolls). Fry it crispy on both sides in clarified butter. Wash and trim the fresh green beans, then cook them in salted water until al dente. Strain the beans through a sieve and refresh with cold water. Wash the pears, quarter them, and remove the cores. Place the white wine and 250 ml of water in a saucepan and bring to a boil briefly with the cloves, the cinnamon stick, and the vanilla pod. Add the pears and simmer over low heat with the lid on until al dente. Season the beans generously with sugar, salt, freshly ground pepper, olive oil, chopped parsley, chopped savory, and freshly squeezed lime juice. Serve lukewarm on a plate. Arrange the pear slices crosswise over the beans and top with the fried bacon.
