February 09, 2017

Balkan bean stew is a one-pot, hearty-stock stew made with just a few ingredients. It does take 4 hrs to make (most of which you don’t have to be present for), but boy do good things come to those who wait!

Stew:
? pound pinto or other dried beans
1 large onion (yellow or white)
2 medium carrots
1-2 small dried red peppers
1 bay leaf
Oil
Parsley
Pepper and salt to taste
Roux:
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon flour
1 garlic clove (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
2 tablespoons paprika

Soak beans in plenty of water (at least two inches above the beans) for 3 hours.* Drain beans, and discard water. Transfer beans into a pot in which you\\\'ll be making the stew. Add 2 cups of fresh water....
