Method

Preparation of Beans

  1. 1

    Soak the Beans

    Rinse the dried white beans under cold water. In a large bowl, soak the beans in 8 cups of water overnight or for at least 8 hours.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beans

    After soaking, drain the beans and transfer them to a large pot. Cover with fresh water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 1 to 1.5 hours until the beans are tender. Drain and set aside.

Cooking the Fasolia

  1. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat 1 cup of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and diced carrot and cook for another 3 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Tomatoes and Bell Pepper

    Stir in the diced tomatoes and bell pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  3. 5

    Combine all Ingredients

    Add the cooked beans to the pot. Stir in the cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

  4. 6

    Simmer the Dish

    Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the fasolia simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning as needed.

  5. 7

    Finish with Parsley

    Once the fasolia is cooked and flavorful, stir in the chopped parsley. Remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
