Stewed Beans
I know, you think beans are heavy, they take too long to cook, etc. But now I’ll tell you how I prepare them in a short time, and they’re delicious. I soak them in cold water the night before so they cook quickly in the morning. One more little trick is to boil them with a teaspoon of baking soda. We can serve them as an appetizer, a side dish, or as a single dish, they’re always good. They’re perfect for vegan or intolerant guests.

Steps
The preparation of stewed beans is very simple, watch the video HERE.
To ensure the beans cook faster, I recommend soaking them in cold water the night before or at least a few hours before cooking. After soaking, boil them with a teaspoon of baking soda. Change the water a couple of times.
In a pot, add some oil and chopped onion and sauté. Wash, clean, and chop the other vegetables and add them.
Add salt, pepper, bay leaf and cook for a few minutes, then add the tomato purée. Add the cooked and drained beans.
Cover with water and cook for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Finally, add a bit of dill and parsley.
Enjoy your meal!
