Ingredients
- 1 cup White beans or 2 (14 oz or 400ml each) canned beans, 180g, dry
- 3 allspice berries optional
- 2 bay leaf optional
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil for frying
- 1/2 lb Polish sausage smoked kielbasa, smoked, 225g
- 3 1/2 oz Bacon preferably in a block but you can also use thick slices, smoked, 100g
- 1 onion medium
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon marjoram
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika or more, to your taste
- pinch cayenne pepper
- 1 crushed tomatoes 14 oz or 400ml can
- 1 cup chicken broth 240 ml
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- bread to serve, crusty bread with salted butter
- butter to serve, crusty bread with salted butter
Instructions
- Soak the beans (you need to start the day before): place beans in a large bowl, cover with water - it should be about 4 inches (10cm) above the beans. Leave to soak overnight (about 10-12 hours), then drain (you can also soak them longer but they are the best when soaked for 10-12 hours, you can either soak them longer, for up to 24 hours or drain them and put in the fridge until ready to use). Discard the soaking water.
- Cook the beans: Add the drained beans to a medium/large pot, add 4 cups of cold water (1L), bay leaves, allspice berries and 2 teaspoons of salt. Bring to a boil then simmer over low heat, covered, for 1-2 hours (smaller beans that have been soaked for longer than 10 hours will be ready after about an hour, smaller beans that have been soaked for 10 hours will be ready after about 1 1/2 hours, larger beans will need about 2 hours, check your beans if they are soft but not as soft as from the can - they're ready). Drain the beans, discard the spices and the cooking liquid.
- If using canned beans and not dry beans, just drain them and rinse on a sieve.
- Prepare the other ingredients: Cut kielbasa into large chunks, smoked bacon into small chunks/dice, dice the onion, finely chop garlic.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the kielbasa and bacon. Cook for a couple of minutes until the fat is partially rendered (melted), turn the heat to medium-high and cook until browned.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the onions, cook for a couple of minutes, until soft and translucent.
- Add garlic, and cook for 30 seconds, stirring.
- Add tomato paste, oregano, marjoram, smoked paprika, and cayenne, cook for a minute, stirring.
- Add crushed tomatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Add beans (any kind) and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve with crusty bread spread with salted butter.
- Enjoy!
