Instructions
- The day before, soak the beans in cold water for at least 8 hours, then drain them.
- Fry the sliced onions in the oil until golden, then stir in the paprika off the heat so it doesn't burn.
- Add the carrots, leek and drained beans, cover with stock, add the bay leaf and simmer gently for 1 hour.
- Add the sausage cut into rounds and the diced potatoes, then cook for another 20 minutes.
- Check the beans are tender, adjust the seasoning and stir in the vinegar at the end.
- Serve piping hot with country bread.
Variations and tips
Vegetarian version. Replace the sausage with sautéed mushrooms and smoked paprika to keep the smoky note.
