• 2 Peel the shallots, cut them in half and then dice. Remove the rind and any gristle from the bacon. Cut the bacon into thin slices and then into small dices. Snap the stalk ends from the beans with your fingers and cut the beans into 3 cm long pieces. Wash the parsley and pick the leaves. Then wash the savory and pick the leaves. Set the herbs aside until needed.
