👨🍳 Yapılışı
- 1
Soak the dried white beans in plenty of cold water overnight (at least 8 hours). Drain and rinse the beans thoroughly. Place the soaked beans in a large pot and cover with fresh water by about 2 inches. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until the beans are almost tender but still hold their shape. Drain and set aside.
⏱️ 45-60 minutes (cooking) - 2
While the beans are cooking, prepare the tomato sauce. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat (around 180°C / 350°F). Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
⏱️ 8-10 minutes - 3
Stir in the cumin, paprika, and tomato paste. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant and the tomato paste darkens slightly. This blooming process enhances their flavor.
⏱️ 1-2 minutes - 4
Add the grated or finely chopped tomatoes to the pot. Stir well to combine with the onion and spice mixture. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to break down slightly.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 5
Pour in the water or vegetable broth and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer uncovered for about 15-20 minutes, or until it has thickened slightly.
⏱️ 15-20 minutes - 6
Add the pre-cooked white beans to the simmering tomato sauce. Stir gently to coat the beans evenly. Cover the pot and let it simmer on low heat for another 30-45 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the beans to become fully tender and creamy. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
⏱️ 30-45 minutes - 7
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. The sauce should be rich and slightly thickened. If it's too thick, add a splash more water or broth. If too thin, simmer uncovered for a few more minutes.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 8
Serve the Loubia hot, garnished generously with fresh chopped cilantro. It is traditionally served with crusty bread for soaking up the delicious sauce.
