Beansoup as we like it

Soak the dry bean in water overnight. Discard the water, put the bean into a big dish with cold water.

Add smoked meat (sausage if you like it), salt, onion, garlic, bay leaf paprika and black peppercorn to taste. You may add celery and bell pepper as well. Let it simmer until bean is almost tender. Add cubed carrot, fennel, potato and cook it until all ingredients ara thoroughly tender.

Serve with fresh white bread and (imaginary) sour cream.

Enjoy!

Contest!

This one should be easy: try to find the button that deletes the whole blog from the face of the Earth ( or internet) ! The lucky winner will get a one-year subscription for virtualcastrobisztro! (the second best will get two year's) Just get your stop-watch and record the time in the commentbox. No cheating! :-)

Important note: DON'T push the button when you find it, just record the seconds/minutes/hours you needed (we would have a hard time explaining ourselves a second time...)

Renaissance!
