48 hours in advance, salt a fresh knuckle of ham in a large saucepan of cold water and bring to the boil.
When the water boils, skim the broth. Add 7 carrots, 2Kg of potatoes cut into pieces, bouquet garni (parsley, thyme), 4 cloves garlic, a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for one hour. Make sure the knuckle of ham is well cooked by pricking it with a fork.
Add 250g pre-cooked haricot beans to the pot. A final tip of the Pyrenees: the more you re-heat it, the better it is
You need a lot of eggs and a grand fireplace to make this spectacular cake, without which no family celebration would ever be the same!
