Feves Au Lard
Serves 8 as a side dish.
These beans boast two staples of Montreal cuisine, sweet maple syrup and rich salt pork.
Pick over and rinse 1 lb dried navy beans (2 1/4 cups). Soak in cold water to cover by 2 inches at least 8 hours. Drain. Put oven rack in middle in middle position and preheat to 350F. Rinse and pat dry 1/4 lb salt pork ( rind discarded ), cut into 3 pieces.
Put beans and pork in an ovenproof 3 quart heavy pot with a lid. Add 4 1/2 cups water, 1 large onion finely chopped ( about 2 cups ), 2 chopped garlic cloves, 1/2 cup grade b Maple Syrup, 1 Tbsp dry English Mustard ( preferably Colman's), snd 1 Tsp freshly ground black pepper, and stir to combine. Cover pot and bake until beans are just tender, 3 to 4 hours. Reduce oven temperature to 325, Remove lid. Bake beans, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is absorbed, but beans are still saucy, 1 to 1 1/2 hours more. Remove from oven, and stir in 1 Tbsp Cider Vinegar, and 1 tsp salt, or more to taste.
