Controne bean soup

We offer you a simple, quick and nutritious recipe: bean soup obviously made with our beloved Controne beans. This recipe is really very simple to make but at the same time tasty and substantial.

Ingredients for 2 people:

• 200 g of Controne beans

• 1 clove of garlic

• 1 dried chili pepper

• extra virgin olive oil to taste

• 1 sprig of rosemary

• 1 teaspoon of bicarbonate

• salt to taste

Soak the Controne beans in plenty of water with bicarnonate for 8-10 hours. Then place them in a pan with double the volume of water and let them cook over a moderate heat for at least 2 hours and add salt only at the end of cooking. Once the beans have been cooked, fry the garlic in a pan with a little oil together with the chilli pepper and rosemary. Add the beans to the pan, add salt if necessary and let everything flavor for 5 minutes. Serve the Controne bean soup with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and if you want you can add some toasted bread.

Enjoy your meal!
