RED BEAN STEW

Steps:

• Drain the beans through a strainer set over a bowl. Place the beans in a large soup pot or Dutch oven. Measure the soaking water in the bowl, and add enough water to it to measure 2 1/2 quarts. Add this to the pot with the beans, turn the heat to medium-high and bring to a gentle boil. Skim off any foam and/or bean skins.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet and add the onions, carrots and peppers. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are tender and fragrant, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add 2 of the garlic cloves and continue to cook for another minute or so, until the garlic is fragrant. Season to taste with salt, add another tablespoon of oil and add the paprika. Cook, stirring, for a couple of minutes, until the vegetables are well coated with paprika and the mixture is aromatic. Add a ladleful of simmering water from the beans to the pan, stir with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan to deglaze, then stir this mixture into the beans. Add the tomato paste and bay leaf, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 1 hour.
• Add the oregano, the remaining garlic cloves, salt to taste, cayenne, vinegar and sugar, and continue to simmer for another hour. The beans should be thoroughly tender and the broth thick and fragrant. Taste and adjust salt, and add more cayenne if desired. For a thicker stew, strain out 1 heaped cup of beans with a little liquid and purée. Stir back into the stew.
• Just before serving, stir in the parsley. Serve over noodles or thick slices of country bread, topping each portion with a large dollop of drained yogurt.

HUNGARIAN BEAN GOULASH RECIPE

Steps:

• The Houngarian bean goulash recipe (Bean Gulyas) is just as famous in our little country as the potato goulash. You have to change basically 2 ingredients only.
• Chop 1 large onion finely, mince 4 cloves garlic and then dice in tiny pieces the bell pepper. As you finish chopping the onions, in a pre-heated large, deep pot you can add oil and the onions right away.
• Chop the meat into small pieces, as well as the sausage should be sliced. If you've got smoked sausage with paprika, that's always the best!
• After you added the onions and you were sauteeing it for at least 2-3 minutes, you can add the meat too and turn the heat to medium. Cook it until each side gets white.
• As you finish chopping the 2nd, 3rd, and so on ingredient, you can add them one after the other and sautee them on low-to-medium heat.
• After the onion, garlic and bell pepper, you'll have to chop the tomato and two medium carrots, then put them all in the pot and sautee them.
• One the vegetables start getting ready, add 1 tsp of salt and pepper, 3-4 bay leaves, a tbsp of paprika, and mix them all together. At this point, if you used dried smoked sausage, you can add that too.
• Pour water or broth and water on it as much to completely cover the ingredients and have above at least 5 cm of liquid. Bring to boil.
• Right after, turn down the heat to low and cook another 30-40 minutes. You can also put a lad on it if you want to speed up the process.
• After 30-40 minutes, if the beef is cooked properly, you can add more water/broth to make sure that it's actually like a soup, and add the beans too.
• Cook it for about 10-15 minutes more with the beans, then taste and season it more if needed. Ready to serve!
