Red Beans, Bourgignonne

Soak a pint red beans in plenty of cold water during night. Drain and place in a saucepan with a quart cold water one medium onion with three cloves stuck in it and one carrot. Tie in a bunch two branches parsley, one branch chervil, a few branches chives and a bean garlic; add to the pan, season with a teaspoon salt and half teaspoon white pepper, cover the pan and let simmer for one and a half hours. Cut half the piece of pork left from yesterday into small dice pieces, add to the beans with a gill claret, lightly mix and let boil for thirty minutes longer. Take up the carrots, onion and herbs. Knead in a bowl a half ounce butter with tablespoon flour and add to the beans; mix well, cook for five minutes, dress the beans on a vegetable dish and serve.
