How to cook it
-
Heat the olive oil in a pot and cook the chopped onion, green pepper, and garlic over medium heat until soft, about 8 minutes.
-
Stir in the chopped tomato and paprika and cook for 2 minutes until it deepens in color.
-
Add the pochas beans, the bay leaf, and the broth, bring to a gentle boil, then lower the heat and simmer uncovered for about 35 minutes, until the beans are creamy but still hold their shape.
-
Season with the salt, fish out the bay leaf, and serve hot in wide bowls with the broth slightly thickened; the viudas or widowed version takes no meat at all, letting the fresh beans carry the whole pot on their own.
