I typically prepare these flavorful and healthy beans without using any spray, as it offers a quick preparation method and is beneficial for those with stomach issues, such as my father. The dish is both delicious and juicy, enhanced by the addition of dried meat and sausages. You may also include sliced bacon if desired. Ingredients required for this recipe include: beans, tomatoes, fresh pepper, celery stalks, carrots, garlic, onions, dried meat, sausages, and various seasonings. I appreciate this healthy bean dish because it does not cause stomach bloating and is both tasty and quickly prepared.

Ingredients: simple, total time: 100 min., 6-8 serving
500 g white beans
1 tsp brandy
2 onions
2 carrots
200 g Carnioli sausages/ cut into rings
5 pieces ribs/ or any dry meat
2 tomatoes San Marzano
1 fresh medium red pepper
1/2 stalk celery
about 1. 6 liter hot water
4 cloves of garlic
1 tsp red ground pepper
2 tsp dry spice / Vegeta to taste
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
2 tsp salt
black pepper to taste
1/4 tsp of bicarbonate
1-2 handful small pasta for beans/ optional
1 full Tbsp fresh parsley/ finely chopped — optional
Preparation:
Prior to preparation, rinse the beans and soak them in cold water, allowing them to sit overnight.
Discard the soaking water and replace it with fresh cold water in a deep pot, ensuring the water level is three fingers above the beans. Add 1 teaspoon of brandy to expedite the cooking process.
Simmer for 30 minutes over moderate heat, allowing it to boil while stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, bring 1.6 liters of water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
Prepare the vegetables by washing and cleaning them without cutting. Set the garlic aside.
Once the beans have cooked, strain them.
In the same cleaned deep pot, sauté the sausages and dried meat (ribs) in a small amount of oil.
Turn occasionally to brown all sides, approximately 10 minutes.
Once browned, add the strained beans and the newly boiled water to cover them. Include the whole cleaned vegetables, except for the garlic, adding just enough water to cover the vegetables.
Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 15–20 minutes, over moderate heat.
Reduce the heat, remove all vegetables, and allow them to cool slightly. Cut them into pieces, place them in a blender, add the garlic and 4 tablespoons of bean liquid, and blend into a cream.
Pour the cream over the beans, stir thoroughly, and season to taste with salt, black pepper, red ground pepper, turmeric, and Vegeta. Continue cooking for another 30 minutes over low to moderate heat, stirring occasionally.
Five minutes before the end of cooking, add a pinch of baking soda and stir quickly to activate it.
Adding baking soda helps prevent stomach bloating.
If desired, cook a small amount of pasta separately for the beans.
I prefer using small macaroni-style pasta specifically for cooked beans, but this step is optional.
While I did not include chopped parsley, feel free to add a small amount if preferred.
Serve warm with your choice of salad and bread.
Buon appetito!
NOTE:
If white beans are unavailable, colorful or brown beans can be used as alternatives.
This healthy cooking method eliminates the need for adding flour or creating sprinkles. The beans naturally thicken when blended with vegetables.
Instead of using dry meat, consider incorporating sliced bacon and pork hooves.
I prefer to cook beans and macaroni separately, as this approach helps preserve the beans for a longer duration.
Store any leftover beans in the refrigerator, covered, for up to four days.
