Ingredients
- 500g beans
- 1 medium carrot, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 zucchini, chopped
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- Salt
- Pepper
- Sweet paprika
- Olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Beans:
- Place the beans in a large bowl, cover with plenty of water, and soak overnight.
- Drain the beans and transfer them to a pot.
- Cook the Beans:
- Add the onion and enough water to just cover the beans, plus a little extra.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat and simmer for 1 to 1.5 hours until the beans begin to soften.
- Add the Vegetables:
- Once the beans have cooked for about an hour and are tender, add the carrot, bell pepper, zucchini, salt, pepper, paprika, and olive oil.
- Simmer Until Done:
- Continue cooking for another 30 minutes or so, until the vegetables are tender, the beans are fully cooked, and the broth has thickened to a creamy consistency.
- Check occasionally and add hot water if needed to prevent the beans from drying out.
