Good to know
Beans are one of the richest sources of fibre you can eat. If they make you bloated, start with smaller bowls and soak them well.

Method
- Drain the soaked beans, cover with fresh water and bring to a boil. Discard the water, cover again and simmer for about an hour until almost tender.
- Meanwhile, soften the onion, carrots and pepper in the oil for 10 minutes. Stir in the paprika for a few seconds, then add the tomatoes.
- Add the vegetables to the beans with the chubritsa and mint. Simmer for 30 minutes more, until the beans are creamy.
- Season with salt and finish with parsley. It's even better the next day.
