Makke
—Take drawn(cleaned, removed from the shells) beans and boil them well. Take them out of the water and cast them into a mortar and grind them to dust (until they are no longer discernible) and until they are white as any milk, heat a little red wine and cast this in with the ground beans and add some salt and then slice this into dishes. Then take onions and mince them small and boil them in oil till they are all brown and flourish the dishes with this and serve forth.
