Best North Croatian Beans Soup Recipes
NORTH CROATIAN BEANS SOUP
This is very old recipe my grandmother used to make. If you cook beans and have some surpluses you may use it for this soup. The soup must be little bit sour, and DO NOT use "acetto balsamico", but normal red or white wine vinegar. The best is to use white beans or beans we call in Croatia "tresnjevec". I did not include beans soaking time in this recipe.

NORTH CROATIAN BEANS AND PEAR BARLEY STEW (RICHET)
This is very old recipe from North Croatian area of Zagorje. Zagorje was very poor region (not any more) and most of the recipes reflect its social status - for example: beans were expensive, so mix it with buckwheat, turnip or sauerkraut. This meal is also energy bomb suitable for winter.

NORTH CROATIAN FRENCH BEANS STEW ("CUSPAJZ OD MAHUNA")
This is my grandmother's recipe. You can use round or flat French beans (I prefer round and green). We eat this meal as a side dish to meat with potato. You can, of course eat this as a complete dish as lunch. If you want to preserve green color of your vegetables, put them into boiled water. I recommend using fresh vegetable, not canned or frozen - it is much, much better.
