Good Morning!!!
What about another nutritious and very tasty recipe?
Today the recipe is Bean Stew where I used white beans. White Beans are a great ally for those who want to reduce weight, but more importantly, they have several benefits for our health.
This food is rich in fibre, flavonoids (antioxidants), proteins, magnesium, calcium, B Complex vitamins, iron and zinc. In addition to quenching hunger, it contributes to a reduction in carbohydrate absorption, prevents diabetes, improves blood circulation and bowel function, prevents cell ageing and strengthens bones.
RECIPE:
Ingredients:
- 500g Cooked white beans
- 1 Medium onion
- 6 Cloves of garlic
- 3 Tablespoons of olive oil
- 8 Small sliced Bacon
- 1 Quality "Farinheira" (I advise a farinheira of Beira Baixa Region, Portugal) - You can replace this with chorizo.
- 6 Chicken sliced beefs
- 300ml Chicken stock
- 1 Bay leaf and rosemary to taste
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 chilli and a little saffron powder
- 1 Mint Leaf
Preparation:
Mince the onion and garlic in a blender. Add the olive oil, the crushed mixture, salt, pepper, chilli, saffron, a bay leaf and rosemary to taste in a pan. Let it fry until slightly brown on a low heat.
In another pot, put the "farinheira" or chorizo with water to cover and let boil 5/10 minutes on medium heat. Take care to remove the "farinheira" immediately if it bursts.
In the onion pan, add the chicken, the bacon and the broth, and if desired, a little of the cooking water of the "farinheira", letting cook for about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally. Verify the seasoning's and add the mint.
Cut the "farinheira" into pieces of 3 cm with care, so that it does not undo and place in a dish to serve with the Bean stew.
I hope you enjoy this recipe just like I do!
Enjoy and kisses !!!
