Light White Bean Stew with Vegetables

How cold it is these days !! It seems that two waves of polar cold have arrived almost together from northern Europe. So for these days what better than some vegetables? Eating legumes regularly during the week is very important because thanks to them we will be providing our body with very good quality proteins and hydrates, as well as fiber and vitamins and minerals such as calcium, magnesium, vitamin B ... And, of course, they have some wonderful features such as its versatility and its economical price on the market.

For today we are going to prepare some White beans very light, with vegetables and aromatic herbs. If you want, you can add chorizo ​​or bacon or, if you want its lighter version, we leave only the vegetables.

At home, every weekend we cook a plate of legumes that we either eat on the weekend or we take advantage of it to consume during the week and keep a portion in the freezer to defrost when the weather is bad.

El cooking time It will depend on the type of bean since some are softer than others, so the indications that we give you here are indicative. I recommend you try them from time to time to better adjust the cooking time.

• 50 g of extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1 tablespoon vinegar

Preparation

1. We put the water, beans, oil, herbs and salt in the glass. We put the vegetables in a basket and inside. (If there were too many vegetables and some do not fit, we can put them in the varoma container chopped)

2. We program 60 minutes, 100º, left turn, spoon speed.

3. When the programmed time is over, we remove the basket with the vegetables and return the beans with their broth in a container (we take the opportunity to remove the ham bone and the bay leaf). In the glass we add all the reserved vegetables except the potato and 1 carrot and a little of the bean broth. We grind 30 seconds, speed 5-7-10. We lower the remains of the lid and walls. We leave inside the glass.

4. We add the beans again with their broth to the glass, add the vinegar and program 10 minutes, temperature 100º, turn to the left, spoon speed. We check if the broth is too thick or if you like it with more broth, add water to taste.

Notes

If you are going to freeze a portion, be careful that it does not include chopped potatoes, it is not a product that freezes well.[br]If you want to add chorizo ​​or bacon, put it at the beginning, inside the glass with the beans so that it cooks.
