Yellow bean stew with chicken drumsticks

Yellow bean stew with chicken drumsticks brings together beans simmered in tomato sauce and drumsticks browned in the oven. The beans soften, the sauce thickens slightly with starch, and the drumsticks are first cooked in a roasting bag. I like it better with dill than parsley, and serve it with bread. Prep: 25 minutes. Cook: 111 minutes. Total: 136 minutes. Servings: 4. About 510 kcal and 34 g protein per serving.
Ingredients
For the beans
- 1 kg yellow wax beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion (150 g)
- 1 bell pepper (150 g)
- 1 carrot (100 g)
- 480 ml water
- 200 ml tomato juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon starch
- 30 ml cold water
- 15 g fresh dill
For the drumsticks
- 8 chicken drumsticks
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon hot paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 Alufix roasting bag
- 1 bag clip
Preparation
1. Trim the ends off the beans and break them into pieces. Finely chop the onion and pepper, then grate the carrot. 2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a saucepan and sauté the onion, pepper and carrot for 8 minutes, until softened. 3. Pour in 480 ml of water, add the beans and simmer for 25 minutes, until tender. 4. Add the tomato juice, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper and the crushed garlic clove. Simmer for 5 minutes. 5. Mix the starch with 30 ml of cold water, pour it into the saucepan and simmer for another 3 minutes, until the sauce starts to thicken. Add the chopped dill. 6. Preheat the oven to 200°C for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, pat the drumsticks dry with paper towels and rub them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, the hot paprika, rosemary and the 2 crushed garlic cloves. Put them in a roasting bag, seal it with the clip and prick the top in a few places. 7. Place the bag in a baking tray and roast the drumsticks for 45 minutes at 200°C, until cooked through. 8. Cut open the top of the bag and leave the drumsticks in the oven for another 15 minutes, until browned.
Notes
The beans and drumsticks keep well covered in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat them separately, and add a little water to the beans if the sauce has thickened. Thin, young beans soften faster, so check them before the end of the cooking time; wider ones may need a few extra minutes. Choose drumsticks of a similar size, as smaller ones cook faster than larger ones. Start about two hours and fifteen minutes before serving, since the beans and drumsticks cook one after the other. Let the drumsticks brown for the full time after opening the bag; they need the extra heat to take on some color. If you don’t have dill, use 15 g of parsley, and serve bread with the beans to mop up the sauce.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use chicken thighs instead of drumsticks?
Yes. Choose pieces of a similar size and cook them in the bag for 50 minutes at 200°C, then brown them for another 15 minutes.
What should I do if the sauce is still too thin?
Mix another 1 teaspoon of starch with 15 ml of cold water and pour it into the saucepan. Simmer for 2 minutes, stirring, until thickened.
Can I use frozen yellow beans?
Yes. Add them straight to the saucepan without thawing them, and start checking their texture after 20 minutes of simmering.
