Description

Loubia - a fragrant bean stew with white beans, tomatoes, garlic, cumin and spices. This quicker version is ready in 35 minutes!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, roughly chopped
  • 5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tomatoes, rough chopped
  • 2 teaspoons sweet paprika
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 (15 oz) can or 1 1/2 cups cooked white beans, drained
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Instructions

Add the onion to a small food processor and chop into a small dice. Remove and set aside. Add in the tomato and pulse until finely chopped.

Heat the olive oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30-60 seconds. Add in the tomato and cook until just softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the paprika, cumin, ginger and salt, cooking until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Add in the water, stir, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in the beans, cover, and simmer for another 10 minutes. Top with parsley and serve. 


Notes

White beans: cannellini are traditional, but navy or great northern beans will also work. Use canned or cook them at home in your pressure cooker!
