👨‍🍳 作り方

1. 1

   Rinse the dried beans and soak them in plenty of water overnight (or for at least 8 hours). Drain and rinse again before cooking.

   💡 プロのコツ: Soaking helps beans cook more evenly and reduces cooking time.
2. 2

   In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and diced carrots and sauté until the onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

   ⏱️ 7 minutes
3. 3

   Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Then, add the cubed beef stew meat and brown it on all sides.

   ⏱️ 1 minute
4. 4

   Stir in the sweet paprika, tomato paste, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.

   ⏱️ 2 minutes
5. 5

   Add the soaked and drained beans, the smoked meat (sausage or ribs), and the bay leaves to the pot. Pour in 8-10 cups of water, ensuring all ingredients are submerged by about 2 inches. Add Vegeta if using.

6. 6

   Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover partially, and simmer for 2 to 3 hours, or until the beans and meat are tender. Stir occasionally and add more water if the stew becomes too thick.

   ⏱️ 2-3 hours
7. 7

   Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Remove bay leaves before serving.

   💡 プロのコツ: Smoked meats can be salty, so taste before adding extra salt.
8. 8

   Serve hot, traditionally with crusty bread or rice.

   💡 プロのコツ: A dollop of sour cream or a side of ajvar can be a delicious addition.
