Method of preparation :
Fry the bacon in a pan until crispy - about 10 minutes.
Add celery, onion, pepper, garlic, thyme, black pepper and 1 tablespoon of salt. Stir and fry for 8 minutes until the onion is soft. Add the beans and broth, cook for 40 minutes until the beans are ready. Drain through a colander, preserving the liquid in which you boiled it.
Return it to the pan, add 1 cup of the broth, cover with a lid and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a saucepan. Add the rice and stir. When it becomes transparent, put 3 cups of broth and salt. Boil the rice until ready, about 15-18 minutes. Stir with a fork and pour over the beans in a saucepan. Pour the remaining broth into the dish in portions (about 1/4 cup of tea) to absorb the liquid from the rice.
Serve the dish generously sprinkled with green onions.
