How to make it
- Wash the beans and leave them to soak for 8–12 hours in the fridge. Drain them and put them on to boil in fresh water.
- Simmer over a low heat for 60–90 minutes, or until the beans are soft. Do not add the sauce before the beans are cooked.
- Separately, simmer the ribs in enough water to cover them until tender. Cut the meat into pieces and keep a little of the cooking liquid.
- Sauté the onion in the oil for 5 minutes. Add the flour and stir for a minute. Take the saucepan off the heat and add the paprika, then gradually pour in the milk, stirring.
- Add the drained beans, the meat and the bay leaves. Thin with 300–500 ml of the cooking liquid, depending on the consistency you want. Simmer gently for 10 minutes.
- Mix the sour cream with a little of the hot sauce, add it to the saucepan and heat gently for another 2–3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, remove the bay leaves and add the herbs.
