Raw Sliced Beans in Salt

4 servings

Ingredients

• 25 kg beans
• 2 kg salt

Instructions

1. String and finely slice the beans.
2. For 25 kilograms of beans, take 2 kilograms of salt, scatter it between them, and mix well.
3. Let the beans stand overnight and the next day, fill them into a barrel with the resulting brine.
4. Weigh down the beans (place a board and stone on top) so that enough brine comes out to completely cover the beans.

Modernized from a treasured 19th-century German cookbook.
