Bean Soup

 

This is one of my favorite dishes, another one I grew up with and one of the most common dishes from Croatia, the bean soup or how we simply call it – Grah. It is super simple to make but so flavorful. It’s basically beans, some sort of smoked meat like ham hocks or bacon, sausage, and some veggies (I go simple with just carrots, onions and celery root). You also add a few sprigs of parsley, some garlic, paprika, salt and pepper and later on you finish it off with some roux. It is always served with some fresh onions and sliced bread and it’s a big bowl of pure comfort food!

    1. Yes, I just salt them a few minutes before we are ready to eat. I don’t like to salt them too far in advance because they release more water and lose most of the crunch and get kind of soggy and that’s not my favorite…
