Croatian Bean Soup / Stew (fažol i Testo)
Usually is made with dry beans and requires much more time. Last year I bought half bushel of romano beans, so I had some in the freezer. Fresh Romano beans ( or Fresh cranberry beans ) may be found at farmers markets in late summer After shelling and cleaning they don’t require presoaking and they cook in under an hour. In winter substitute with 2 cans ( 19 oz ) of romano beans, drained and rinsed ( optional ).
What you will need
3 cups romano beans ( cranberry beans )
5 cups water
2 teaspoons salt
3 teaspoons oil

1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt or to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
