Ingredients
- 350 g dried white beans, soaked
- 450 g savoy cabbage
- 250 g potatoes
- 200 g pork belly, lightly smoked
- 180 g Spanish chorizo for cooking
- 120 g morcilla, optional
- 1 onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 tsp mild paprika powder
- 1 bay leaf
- 1.5 liters of water
- Salt
Instructions
- Soak the beans for 12 hours, drain and boil in fresh water for 10 minutes.
- Gently simmer the beans with 1.5 l of water, pork belly, chorizo, onion and bay leaves for about 50 minutes.
- Destroyed savoy cabbage and cut into strips, cut potatoes into cubes; admit both. Finely chop the garlic and mix with the paprika powder.
- Cook for another 30-40 minutes until beans and potatoes are tender. If available, warm the morcilla whole for the last 15 minutes.
- Remove the meat and sausages, cut into slices, return. Now add salt and serve hot.
Tips
- Instead of thin broth, the stew should appear creamy: mash some beans and potatoes with a spoon.
- Savoy cabbage is a viable alternative to Berza/kale from the region. If Morcilla is missing, it remains an adapted house variant.
