Bean Stew/Soup

Bean Stew/Soup

This one is reaaallly delicious! Its a must try! And let me know what you think!!

You can either make a stew/soup, depending on the amount of fluid you want to use....the more fluid...add extra salt and flavouring.
It is SUPER high in Protein...and good for active people who wants some muscle!

Ingredients: For 4-5 People

1. +- 800g boneless beef....(if you want it more meaty...why not? If you are veggi freak...just leave out the meat.)
2. 2 Big Onions...any colour, I prefer Brown or Red.
3. 1 Lovely bunch of Spring onions - Cut into little sircles :)
4. 500 gr Mixed beans - I use Barlotti Beans, Red Kidney Beans, Chick Peas, Cannelini Beans. You can also use Lentils (Then its Lentil Stew) If you want to take the short route, just buy 'n can...
5. 1-2 Big patatoes cut into small cubes.
6. 2 BIG gloves of Garlic
7. Brown onion stock/Beef stock.
8. Salt and Pepper
9. 250 ml Sour Cream (Optional)
10. Little bit o' Soy sauce.
11. Butter/Frying oil
12. Some ground Coriander seeds
13. 1 Beer/WAter

...I think that's everything.

Lets start:

1. Get a pot that's big enough...
Add a Little butter/oil - (NOTE: DO NOT FRY with VIRGIN olive oil - its unhealthy! Try Grapeseed/Coconut oil. I use a little Butter.). Add HALF of the Onions, HALF of the Spring Onions and the Garlic. Fry until light brown.
2. Add the meat. Fry until the meat is brown. Sprinkle some Soy sauce and Coriander over the meat.
3. Add 2 Ts of Beef/Onion Stock (If in Powder form)/1 cubes.
4. Add the Beer/Water. If you want a stew/thick soup just ad beer...and if necessary a little water. If you want to make a soup, add 1l of Water and a little extra stock.
5. Add the potatoes. The Potatoes must cook away - to thicken the stew/soup.
6. Add the beans and the REST of the onions and spring onions.
7. Let it simmer for about 2 hours...stirring every now and then, check that there is enough fluid.
8. Add salt and pepper to your taste
9. If you want to use Sour Cream, add before you serve....yummy!

Serve with love and some nice home made bread :)
