The legume stews they are a great ally in the kitchen. They spread a lot and allow us to create numerous combinations taking advantage of what we have at home. This white bean and prawn stew is a great example and a great alternative to add to our menu.
Legume stews are simple to prepare but take time. A time that we can reduce by using canned cooked legumes. They are an excellent option, although it is preferable to wash them before adding them to the stew in order to remove excess salt.
This is how we have done it before combining our beans with the fried onion, prawns and tomato that we had prepared. A pot of beans like the one we have used can be enough to feed 4 people if the beans are served with a good fruit and vegetable salad.
