A comforting and flavorful Albanian-inspired bean stew perfect for any occasion.
Rinse and soak the white beans overnight in water.
Soaking the beans overnight reduces cooking time and improves their texture.
Drain and rinse the beans, then place them in a large pot with fresh water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes.
Skim off any foam that forms on the surface for a clearer broth.
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion until translucent.
Stir frequently to prevent the onion from burning.
Add the sautéed onion, tomato paste, paprika, chili powder, and parsley to the pot with the beans. Stir well.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Simmer the stew on low heat for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. Add salt to taste.
Check the water level periodically and add more if needed to prevent sticking.
Serve the stew hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Pair with crusty bread for a complete meal.
