Tief rauchig, reichhaltig und unverschämt wohltuend, verwandelt dieser rauchige Haricot Bohneneintopf eine einfache Dose Bohnen in ein richtiges "Wohlfühlgericht" für unter der Woche.
Mit einem Hauch von geräuchertem Paprikapulver und einer langsam geköchelten Tiefe ist es genau das, was man an einem grauen Nachmittag mit einem dicken Stück knusprigem Brot aufwischen möchte.
