This recipe is perfect for a hearty meal, ideal on cool days, and will surely bring comfort in every bite. Here’s how to prepare it step by step. Preparation time: 15 minutes Cooking time: 1 hour Total time: 1 hour and 15 minutes Servings: 4-6 ### Ingredients: - 400 g white beans (dried) - 300 g pork (shoulder is ideal) - 200 g smoked sausages (your choice) - 1 tablespoon sunflower oil - 1 large onion - 2 carrots - 3 cloves of garlic - 1 bay leaf - 1 teaspoon sweet paprika - Salt and pepper to taste - 1 liter water - Fresh parsley for garnish ### Instructions: 1. Preparing the beans: Start by washing the white beans under cold running water. It is recommended to soak them in cold water for 8 hours (or overnight). This will reduce cooking time and aid in easier digestion. 2. Cooking the beans: After soaking, drain the water and place the beans in a pot with fresh water. Boil the beans over medium heat for about 40-50 minutes or until they become soft. Add salt only at the end to avoid toughening the beans. 3. Preparing the meat: In a double-bottomed pot, heat the sunflower oil over high heat. Cut the pork into cubes of about 2 cm and add them to the pot. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste and fry the meat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides. 4. Adding the vegetables: Chop the onion and carrots into small cubes. After the meat is browned, add the onion and carrots to the pot. Sauté the vegetables for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent. Add the minced garlic and sweet paprika, stirring well to release the flavors. 5. Combining the ingredients: Once the beans are cooked, add them to the pot with the meat and vegetables. Add the bay leaf and 1 liter of water. Stir well and let it simmer over low heat for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine harmoniously. 6. Finishing the dish: Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as preferred. If desired, you can also add sliced sausages, allowing them to simmer in the mixture for 10 minutes. ### Serving: Serve the white bean stew with pork and sausages hot, sprinkled with freshly chopped parsley for an extra touch of freshness. This recipe is excellent alongside a slice of homemade bread or warm polenta. ### Practical tips: - Variations: You can experiment with different types of meat, such as chicken breast or turkey, and you can add other vegetables like bell peppers or celery for a different taste. - Storage: The dish keeps well in the refrigerator for 2-3 days and can be frozen for later use. - Alternative serving: For a more festive look, you can serve the dish in individual ceramic bowls, adding a spoonful of sour cream on top before serving. This white bean stew with pork and sausages recipe is not only delicious but also comforting, perfect for bringing a touch of tradition to your meals. Happy cooking!
