Bulgarian White Beans & Peppers Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Beans

   Rinse the Bulgarian white beans under cold water. Soak them in a large bowl with enough water to cover them for at least 8 hours or overnight. After soaking, drain and rinse them again.

2. 2

   Cook the Beans

   In a large pot, add the soaked beans and 4 cups of vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 1 hour, or until the beans are tender. Add salt and pepper to taste.

3. 3

   Sauté the Vegetables

   While the beans are cooking, chop the onion, red bell pepper, and yellow bell pepper into small pieces. In a pan, heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Add Garlic and Peppers

   Add the minced garlic, then the chopped red and yellow bell peppers to the sautéed onion. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the peppers are soft.

5. 5

   Combine Ingredients

   Once the beans are tender, combine them with the sautéed vegetables in the pot. Stir in 2 teaspoons of paprika and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Let it cook together for another 10-15 minutes on low heat to meld the flavors.

   Garnish and Serve
