Cooking Bean & Beef Pot

Cooking Bean & Beef Pot

Heat up a large pan with a good dash of oil, add the onions & garlic to the pan & sweat until translucent over a medium heat for 2 – 3 minutes, turning occasionally. Next, add 500 grams of ground beef, season with a pinch of salt & pepper to taste & fry until crumbly for another 3 – 4 minutes.




When that’s done, add 1 heaping teaspoon each of savory, oregano & sweet paprika powder to the pan, stir in briefly & allow to sweat with it. Then put the prepared potatoes, the green beans, 1 heaping tablespoon of spicy ajvar & 1 can of chopped tomatoes into the pan & then pour in water until everything is just covered with liquid.

Tip: The green beans can also be added 6 – 7 minutes before the end of the cooking time, so they stay a little crisp and retain their green color.
