White beans and frankfurters in tomato sauce

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

1. Soak the beans

   Rinse the beans, cover with plenty of cold water, and let soak overnight.

2. Cook the beans

   1 hr

   Drain the beans, cover with fresh water, and add the bay leaf. Cook without salt for about 1 hour, until tender. Reserve 200 ml of the cooking liquid and drain the rest.

3. Make the sauce

   10 min

   Finely chop the onion and sauté in the oil until golden. Stir in the paprika, tomato paste, and tomatoes. Add the sugar and 200 ml of the reserved bean cooking liquid and simmer for 5 minutes.

4. Combine

   10 min

   Add the beans and sliced frankfurters. Season with salt and pepper, add the marjoram, and simmer for 10 minutes, until the sauce thickens. Remove the bay leaf and serve with bread.

Tip: For a quicker version, use two cans of white beans instead of dried beans and skip the bean-cooking step.
