preparation
➊ First, place 20 coal briquettes under your cast iron POT. Now put the bacon cubes in the pot and fry them until they are nice and crispy. Shortly afterwards, add the white and green beans and immediately pour the broth into the pot to deglaze.
➋ Cut the carrots into thin slices and put them in the POT. But first it's time to simmer, so put the lid on and spread another 10 briquettes on top.
➌ Meanwhile, you can peel the potatoes and apples and cut them into bite-sized pieces. After about 30 minutes, you can carefully lift the lid, add the apple pieces and potatoes, stir once and close the lid for another 30 minutes.
➍ Finally, season your blind chicken with salt and pepper before you can serve it.
Tip: A few slices of freshly baked rye bread are perfect for polishing the plate after eating.
