SIDE DISH

BRUNA BÖNOR (Brown Beans), Swedish

Ingredients

• 2 cups brown beans
• 1 tsp. salt
• 2 quarts water
• 1/3 cup molasses or syrup
• ¼ cup vinegar

Preparation Instructions

These brown beans belong on a Smorgasbord and with Christmas dinner, but they are an every day meal too. These brown beans are a close kin to the American kidney bean.

Wash beans. Drain. Cover with 2 quarts water and soak overnight. When ready to cook them, add salt and cook until tender (2 to 3 hours). Just before serving, add molasses or syrup. Wonderful with pork chops, meat balls or sauteed kidneys.
