Zutaten:
- 300 g white beans
- some MANI 100 % virgin olive oil
- 2 large onions
- 4 carrots
- 2 pointed peppers
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 200 ml strained tomatoes
- 2 potatoes, floury
- 1 lemon, peel and juice
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 tsp paprika powder, sweet
- 70 ml MANI 100 % virgin olive oil
- parsley, chopped
- salt & pepper
- Vegan cream or sour cream
Zubereitung:
Soak the beans in water overnight. Drain and rinse the next day.
Dice the onions, carrots, pointed peppers and garlic and sauté in olive oil. Fry the tomato paste briefly. Pour in the strained tomatoes.
Add the beans and peeled potatoes to the tomato sauce along with the bay leaf and paprika.
Add enough water to completely cover the beans. Simmer for about 60 minutes, until the beans are tender.
Fish out the potatoes, mash them with a fork and stir them back in. This will make the sauce nice and creamy.
Add the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Add the water if necessary, depending on the consistency.
Sprinkle parsley on top and dress with a dollop of whipped vegan cream or sour cream.
MANI Tip:
You can also add a few MANI olives.
