👨‍🍳 Οδηγίες

1. 1

   Rinse the soaked beans and place them in a large pot. Cover with fresh water by about 2 inches. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 2 hours, or until beans are tender. Drain and set aside, reserving some of the cooking liquid.

   ⏱️ 2 hours
2. 2

   While beans are cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

   ⏱️ 7 minutes
3. 3

   Add minced garlic, cubed pork belly, sliced sausage, and stewing beef to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the meats are browned.

   💡 Επαγγελματικές Συμβουλές: Adding a little water can help prevent the meat from sticking and ensure it cooks through.
4. 4

   Stir in the chopped tomatoes, diced carrots, bay leaves, and piri-piri pepper (if using). Cook for another 5 minutes.

5. 5

   Add the cooked beans and chopped turnip greens to the pot with the meat mixture. Add enough reserved bean cooking liquid (or fresh water) to cover the ingredients.

   💡 Επαγγελματικές Συμβουλές: Using the bean cooking liquid adds more flavor and color to the stew.
6. 6

   Bring the stew to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded. Stir occasionally.

   ⏱️ 30 minutes

   💡 Επαγγελματικές Συμβουλές: Simmering for longer (up to an hour) will deepen the flavors.
7. 7

   Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve hot, traditionally with rice or xima.

   💡 Επαγγελματικές Συμβουλές: If the stew is too thick, add a little more reserved bean liquid or water.
