    Ingredients

    • 400g pinto beans
    • 1 bay leaf
    • 700g smoked pork ribs
    • 80g celery root, cleaned
    • 1 parsley root, cleaned
    • 1 carrot, trimmed
    • 1 red pepper, cleaned
    • 1-2 small chili peppers, cleaned
    • 2 tomatoes, seedless
    • 1 tbs olive oil
    • 130g onions, chopped
    • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
    • 1 l water
    • ¼ cup tomato puree
    • 1 tsp coarse sea salt

    1. Cook beans together with a bay leaf in unsalted water for 10 minutes. Bring to the boil; reduce the flame, cover and cook for 20 minutes. Drain but keep half a cup of the cooking water.

    3. Chop in blender celery, parsley, and a carrot. Add red pepper, chili pepper and tomatoes, pulse.
    4. Sauté onion and garlic in olive oil, then add chopped vegetables. Sauté for 2 - 3 minutes.
    5. Pour the water over vegetables, stir, and season with salt and bring to the boil. Reduce the flame, cook for another 10 minutes.
    6. Add tomato puree, water from cooking beans and beans, stir and continue cooking for 10 minutes.
    7. Serve with smoked ribs and a thick slice of crusty bread. If you wish, you may add some red wine vinegar.
