Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Rinse the Koo beans under cold water and soak them in water for at least 4 hours or overnight. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Chop Vegetables

    Dice the onion, carrots, and celery into small, even pieces. Mince the garlic.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 4

    Add Vegetables and Broth

    Stir in the diced carrots and celery. Cook for another 5 minutes. Then add the soaked Koo beans, vegetable broth, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  3. 5

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let simmer for about 45 minutes or until the beans are tender.

  4. 6

    Finish the Dish

    Remove the bay leaves. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley. For added flavor, you can mix in red chili flakes and lemon juice if desired.
