Stewed Beans

Ingredients

Chinese green beans - 9 lbs
Olive Oil - 4 tablespoons
Activated Baking Soda - ¼ teaspoon
White bread - 1.8 oz
Garlic - 1 clove
Paprika - 1 teaspoon
Eel - 1 bunch
Salt - to taste
Champagne Vinegar - 1 tablespoon

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the beans and baking soda, and cook uncovered for 15 minutes. Drain the water.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a skillet, add the bread (cutting off the crusts first) and the clove of garlic – and cook, turning the bread, for a few minutes until it is golden brown. Remove the bread and garlic from the skillet and crush them in a mortar.

Step 3

In the skillet, add finely chopped onion and cook over low heat, stirring, for 6 minutes until it becomes soft. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the paprika, then quickly add the finely chopped lettuce leaves and beans, and mix everything well.

Step 4

Add the vinegar to the mortar, mix it with the bread and garlic crumbs, and pour everything into the skillet. Season with salt to taste. Add 3-4 tablespoons of water. Cook over medium heat for another 15 minutes until the beans are soft – add a little water if the mixture seems too thick: the beans should be stewed, not fried. Serve immediately.
