Spicy Stew With Beans And Red Wine For Sunday Lunch. Step-by-step Recipe With Photo

Beans with Meat and Smoked Bacon is a spicy red wine stew that I recommend preparing for Sunday lunch. It will take some time to prepare food - marinating meat and soaking beans. These actions will not take away much labor costs, but the process lasts from 4 to 6 hours. Therefore, it is convenient to marinate the meat and soak the beans in the evening, and cook the stew in the morning.

The dish is very satisfying, even a small portion is enough to feed an adult.

Pork neck or meaty brisket stew is best.

• 100 g smoked bacon;

How to prepare a spicy stew with beans and red wine for Sunday lunch

Cut the meat with thin layers of fat into large cubes, put in a deep bowl. Pour in dried thyme, basil, ground red paprika, grind black peppercorns and coriander seeds in a mortar. Rub the pieces of meat with spices, then pour in semi-dry or dry red wine. We tighten the bowl with cling film, put it in the refrigerator for 5-6 hours.

We sort out red dry beans, fill with filtered cold water. Soak the beans in water for 5-6 hours, change the water periodically.

Then we transfer the soaked beans into a deep saucepan with a thick bottom, pour in 2 liters of water, bring to a boil.

Cook over low heat until tender, 10 minutes before the end of cooking, salt.

Cut the smoked bacon into thin strips. Grease the pan with olive oil and heat. Put chopped bacon in a preheated pan, fry for 5-7 minutes.

Chop the onions finely. We crush the garlic cloves with a knife, peel them, chop them. Pour chopped onion to the fried bacon, add garlic after a couple of minutes.

Fry vegetables with bacon until golden brown.

We take out the meat from the marinade, dry the pieces with a paper towel, put them in a short time.

Quickly fry the pork pieces on each side.

Pour the wine marinade to the fried meat, salt, add a pinch of granulated sugar to balance the tastes. We evaporate the wine almost completely over moderate heat.

We put the finished beans in a colander. Pour 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil into a brazier or a thick-walled saucepan, spread the beans.

Then add the pork with the sauce, mix the ingredients, pour in a little bean broth.

We close the brazier tightly, cook everything together over low heat for about 20 minutes.

Serve hot spicy stew with beans and red wine on the table, sprinkle with finely chopped herbs - cilantro or parsley before serving. Bon Appetit!

This recipe can also be cooked with white beans, but in this case, I advise you to replace the red wine with white.
