There is nothing better than a hot plate on a cold winter´s day, and this Spanish Bean Stew is just that. Loaded with Spanish flavors, super easy to make and promises to warm your soul with so much goodness.
My favorite part about this Spanish Bean Stew is that it´s made with very simple & humble ingredients. We´re talking canned beans and everyday vegetables, plus it requires no special equipment or tricky cooking techniques.
What really flavors this stew is the sweet smoked Spanish paprika and a great vegetable broth. The broth that I used to make this recipe is homemade. You will find the recipe on how to make it here. But you can always use the store-bought stuff.
TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: I used canned beans to make this stew. Why? Because it makes it so much easier. The secret? Make sure to rinse the canned beans under cold running water. This removes any of the preservatives and allows the beans to absorb all the flavors in the stew.
Key Ingredients & Cookware I used in this Recipe:

EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL

SPANISH SEA SALT

23 . Jun . 2022Extremely delicious food. I added a little extra tomato and cooked with the lid off to make the broth slightly thicker, and served with crusty bread. Already looking forward to making this again. So good!
