Fasuleda is
a tasty beans dish that you can do to any dish. For example, rice, ploenta or
even meat, like chicken or pork. It is really up to you, you could even eat it
alone. It's tasty, you will see.
Ingredients
-
10 ounces (250 g) dried beans
-
An onion, sliced
-
6 ounces (150 g) fresh mild sausage, stripped of its
casing and crumbled
-
6 pork chops, cut in half
-
2 small pieces fresh pork rind (order this from your
butcher or check an oriental market)
-
3 tablespoons olive oil
-
1/2 cup dry white wine
-
A ladle of tomato sauce
-
Salt & freshly ground pepper
Method
- Soak the beans overnight in abundant
water.
- The next day, boil them in enough water to cover by several inches, adding a
little salt when they're almost done, because adding it too soon will toughen
the skins.
-
Heat the oil and sauté the sliced onion, together with the
crumbled sausages, pork chops, and pieces of pork rind.
-
When browned
lightly add the white wine and continue cooking until it is absorbed. Then add
the tomato; by this point the beans should be rather al dente.
-
Remove them from
the pot with a slotted spoon and add them to the meat mixture.
-
Season to taste,
and continue cooking over a low flame until the beans are done, stirring them
about and adding a little of the hot bean broth should the fasuleda show signs
of drying out.
-
Serve it steaming hot.
