Vegetable-Rich Navy Beans Stew
Ingredients
  • 1¾ cup dry navy beans
  • 1 onion
  • 1.5 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 3 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 big carrot, diced
  • 1 green pepper, diced
  • 400 g meat - optional (I like to use pork ribs)
  • 2 bay leaves
  • ½ cup crushed tomatoes
  • sea salt - to taste
  • black pepper - to taste
Instructions
  1. Soak the navy beans in 3.5 cups of water overnight. Drain the water and rinse the beans in the morning. Place the beans in a big pot and cover them with water. Bring everything to a boil, then turn the heat down and simmer for 30 minutes. Drain the water and rinse the beans. Keep the beans in the strainer.
  2. Sauté the onion in coconut oil in the big pot where the beans were boiled. Add the chopped celery, carrot, and green pepper.
  3. Place the beans back in the big pot. Add 2.5 cups of water, the vegetable mixture (onion, celery, carrot), 400 g meat (if using), and 2 bay leaves. Bring everything to a boil and cook until the beans, the meat, and the vegetables are tender (approximately 1 hour). Before you remove the beans from heat, add ½ cup crushed tomatoes. Salt and black pepper to taste.
