            • 1<\/span> Tbsp.<\/span> Paprika<\/span><\/li>

            • Salt to taste<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n

              Instructions
              <\/div> <\/h3>
              • Soak beans in cold water for 8 to 12 hours. Discard any beans that float. Alternatively, soak 1 hour, covered, in boiling water.<\/div><\/li>
              • Heat oil in a big pan over medium heat, and saute onion until golden.<\/div><\/li>
              • Add tomato paste, paprika and cumin, and mix constantly till well scented and starts to darken (caramelize).<\/div><\/li>
              • Add carrots and celery, mix, and cook for about 5 minutes, till vegetables start to soften.<\/div><\/li>
              • Add beef and mix frequently, until all beef changed its color.<\/div><\/li>
              • Add drained beans, mix, and add water to cover about 2″ above ingredients.<\/div><\/li>
              • Add bouquet Garni and bring to a boil.<\/div><\/li>
              • Lower heat to a simmer, cover, and let cook for 2 to 4 hours, till beans are soft and all flavors are well blended.<\/div><\/li>
              • Taste and fix flavors; you will need to add salt, probably some cumin, and more pepper if you are looking for a spicier flavor.<\/div><\/li>
              • Serve hot.<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n
                <\/div>\n

                Notes
                <\/div><\/h3>
                  \n
                • Make sure NOT to add salt until beans are soft, as it will slow down the softening process.<\/li>\n
                • Feel free to add more root vegetables to the mix for an even richer flavor: celeriac and parsley root are immediate candidates!<\/li>\n
                • If you like a thicker soup, add less water, just make sure you check the soup every so often to avoid scorching.<\/li>\n
                • If you like meat sticks, feel free to chop some and add with the beef.<\/li>\n
                • Pressure cooker is a great tool for this recipe: can be finished in less than 1 hour.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n\n
