How to Make Jókai Bableves?

Ingredients

400 gr smoked pork ribs
300 gr of white beans
2 bay leaves
2 garlic cloves
1 carrot
½ piece of celery
½ kohlrabi
1 parsley root
250 gr smoked sausage
100 gr flour
1 egg
1 onion
Red pepper as needed
2 dl sour cream
Salt and pepper as needed
Butter

Directions

Step One

For Jókai bean soup, soak the beans overnight. After they are soaked well, dry them, and set them aside.

Step Two

Wash the ribs, put them in a pot, and add water. Put the pot on medium heat, put the lid on it, and cook the smoked ribs (Do not add salt because smoked meat is salty.)

The ribs are ready when you can push a fork into them.

Step Three

Add the soaked beans, bay leaf, chopped carrot, celery, kohlrabi, chopped parsley root, and the rings of smoked sausage. Mix the ingredients well, put the lid on the pot, and cook over low heat.

Step Four

In the meantime, knead the flour with the egg and salt. When the beans are almost soft (the vegetables and the sausage will be cooked by then), place the dough on a floured tray and continue cooking together.

Step Five

When everything is cooked in the bean soup, half-fry the chopped onion in the butter, add flour and crushed garlic, and fry together.

Step Six

When onion and garlic are fried, remove the pan from the heat, stir in the red pepper, and pour it into the soup. Dilute the sour cream with the soup.

How to Serve Jókai Bableves?

Adjust the thickness of the soup. To do it, add enough water to make it a good consistency. If necessary, add salt and boil well. Serve the Jókai Bableves with baked bread, and enjoy it!
