Instructions

  1. The day before, soak the beans in cold water for at least 8 hours, then drain them.
  2. Fry the sliced onions in the oil until golden, then stir in the paprika off the heat so it doesn't burn.
  3. Add the carrots, leek and drained beans, cover with stock, add the bay leaf and simmer gently for 1 hour.
  4. Add the sausage cut into rounds and the diced potatoes, then cook for another 20 minutes.
  5. Check the beans are tender, adjust the seasoning and stir in the vinegar at the end.
  6. 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.
