Ingredients: simple, total time: 90 min., 4 servings
800 g dried giant white beans
350 g crushed tomatoes
1 Tbsp tomato concentrate + 130 ml water
100 ml olive oil
2 medium onions/ finely chopped
3 cloves garlic/ minced
2 carrots/ diced
2 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp red ground paprika
salt and black pepper
about 250 ml water/ gradually
2 Tbsp parsley leaves/ finely chopped for garnish
2 - 3 Carnioli sausages/ or for for grill as you like
terracotta dish/ or other deep baking dish
Preparation:
Soak the giant beans overnight in plenty of water.
Drain and cook in fresh water for about 45 minutes. (If you're using canned beans, skip this step, just drain and rinse.)
Heat the olive oil in a pan and sauté the first onion, until softened add garlic and chopped carrots and stir well. Sauté them for about 5 minutes.
Now add the chopped tomatoes and spices( salt, black, pepper, ground paprika and oregano).
Simmer the sauce for 10-15 minutes to low moderate heat.
Mix the tomato concentrate with 100 ml of water, add to the ingredients and mix.
Gradually add water and cook for another 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
The tomatoes must soften and the ingredients must be combined. Put out the fire.
Combine the cooked beans with the tomato sauce in a baking dish and level it. If you have a terracotta dish, you can also use it.
If you want, you can add sausages from above. I used Carniola sausages and made a few cuts on each one.
Bake at 190°C for about 40-45 minutes until thick and rich.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Buon appetito!
NOTE:
If you use beans from a can, your dish will be faster, almost in about an hour of cooking time. Rinse the beans well under running cold water before use.
If you like spicy, you can add hot chili peppers or hot green pepper.
Keep the rest of the food covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Heat in a pan or microwave.
