Instructions

1. Fry the bacon in the pan without the fat rim. Add the onions. After both have gotten color, add the beans and a good shot of beer, sambal oelek and the spices. Be careful, the beans get very hot and they settle down quickly. Keep stirring with the spatula and see if there is still liquid on the bottom of the pan. If not, deglaze immediately with a shot of beer. Don`t take your eyes off the pan. You can do without a lid, it won`t splash.
2. Reduce the liquid again and again. The beans become wonderfully soft and the bacon tender as butter. Simmer for about 10-15 minutes. You should have used about half a bottle of beer by the time the pan is almost done. Now add the crème fraîche and stir. Boil. If there is not enough liquid, add a little more beer.
3. The bean pan is now the color of the beans in the western film.
4. Traditionally, you can enjoy them straight from the metal pan with the wooden spoon. Be careful, the pan is very hot and so are the beans!
5. Serve the baguette and cold drinks with it, put in an old Bud Spencer film and enjoy the evening.
6. Tip:
