“Koleraba” in the local way

Ingredients (for 4 people who are real eaters):

• 1 onion
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 200 ml beans
• 1,5 litres of water (more if necessary)

Recipe by Mojca Brožič, Jablanica

Preparation:
At least one pig's leg, pork ribs or bacon must be melted into the 'kolerava'.
Clean and cut the koleraba into cubes (can be larger), add garlic, onion, salt and cook in cold water.
When it is half cooked, add the diced potatoes; cut some of the potatoes into four pieces.
When the potatoes and koleraba are soft, add the beans. The larger pieces of potato are shaken to thicken the soup.
The pork can be cooked separately or together with the koleraba.

The recipe is taken from the book by Smrdel, Slavica.Dishes of our grandmothers. Ilirska Bistrica: Rural Women's Association, 2014.
