For a richer flavor, consider using smoked paprika. Adjust the amount of marjoram to your preference. It adds a distinctive Polish flavor. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, use the quick-soak method: cover the beans with water, bring to a boil for 2 minutes, then let sit for 1 hour before draining and cooking. Serve with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh parsley for added freshness.

Follow The Directions
01
StepSoak the Beans: Place cannellini beans in a large container, cover with several inches of cool water, and soak for 8 hours or overnight. (8+ hours)
02
StepCook the Beans: Drain the soaked beans and place them in a large pot. Cover with fresh water and cook over low heat until tender. (45-60 minutes)
03
StepSauté the Meats: While the beans are cooking, heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add bacon and sausage, cooking until browned. Transfer the meats to a bowl, reserving some grease in the skillet. (5-10 minutes)
04
StepCaramelize the Onions: Cook onions in the reserved grease until golden brown. Add to the bowl with the meats. (5-10 minutes)
05
StepCombine and Simmer: Stir the meat mixture, bay leaves, and allspice into the cooked beans. Bring to a simmer. Add tomatoes, marjoram, garlic, salt, and pepper. Continue to simmer, adding water if needed to maintain sufficient liquid. (10-15 minutes)
06
StepThicken the Stew: In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add flour and stir to form a paste (a roux). Remove from heat and add the roux to the stew, stirring in the paprika. Simmer until the stew thickens. (approx. 15 minutes)

Mar 17, 2025I made this in my slow cooker, and it turned out great. I just browned the meats and onions first and then added everything to the slow cooker for about 6 hours on low.

Feb 7, 2025I didn't have any marjoram on hand, so I used a little thyme instead. It was still very tasty.
