| Soak the [[beans]] overnight in plenty of water. Drain and re-rinse.
| [[Boil]] the [[beans]] in 1.2 [[litres]] (2 [[pints]]) of water boil until tender. Reserve the cooking water.
| In a large [[frying]] pan or [[wok]], heat the [[oil]] and [[butter]] and [[fry]] the the [[onion]] until soft.
| Add the [[bacon]] and [[fry]] it until cooked, but not crispy.
| [[Mash]] the [[beans]], a [[potato ricer]] or [[Potato masher|masher]] is good for this, then mix them with the [[fried]] [[bacon]] and [[onion]].
| Stir in a little of the reserved cooking water so the [[beans]] are the same consistency as [[double cream]].
