1. 1Step 1: Wash the beans and separate any bad ones (this may not be necessary - it depends on the quality of the beans you are using).
2. 2Step 2: Put the beans in a pressure cooker with a layer of water to cover them and an extra 3/4 inch of water above the layer of beans. Cook for 40 minutes until the beans are cooked. (Instant pot setting is high pressure for 40 minutes).
3. 3Step 3: Fry the lardons until cooked, and set aside. Then fry the garlic in the bacon fat and set aside.
4. 4Step 4: When the beans are cooked, add the garlic and bacon and stir well as you bring to the boil over medium heat. Boil for 5 minutes before serving. Season with salt to taste before serving (here the lardons were quite salty and no salt was needed).
