Bruna bönor - Brown Beans

Brown beans is a classical Swedish dish, which has become
less popular during recent decades.
Ingredients:
· 400 ml dried brown beans
· 2-3 tbsp syrup
(molasses)
· 2 tbsp vinegar

1. Rinse the brown beans and soak them in cold water
overnight.
2. Let them simmer, well covered by water (add some
salt), until they are (very) soft. This normally takes
11/2 hours. Check now and then and add more water if
required.
3. Add the syrup and vinegar, then the potato flour
suspended in a small quantity of cold water as a
thickener.
4. Heat briefly.
Serve together with, e.g. fried pork, meatballs or sausages.
