1. Fasolea se pune la fiert in apa, impreuna cu ceapa, ardeii grasi, rosiile si putina sare la foc mediu pana cand sunt moi / Put the beans in water to boil together with the onion, peppers, tomatoes and a little salt over medium heat until they are soft.

 2. Cand toate s-au fiert se distuie usturoiul pana cand prinde o culoare usor aurie / When all are boiled, fry the garlic until it turns a light golden.

 3. Peste usturoi se adauga boiaua dulce cu faina si se distuie avand grija sa nu se arda, dupa care se adauga un 1 polonic din zeama obtinuta prin fierberea fasolei si a legumelor  / Add the paprika and flour over garlic and fry taking care not to burn the mixture, then add a ladle of stock that was obtained from boiling the bean and vegetables.

  

 4. Peste amestecul distuit se adauga legumele fierte si scurse de zeama impreuna cu inca cateva polonice de zeama de legume, amestecand continuu pana cand sosul devine de consistenta medie (nici prea gros nici prea subtire) / Over the fried mixture add the boiled and strained vegetables together with a bit more vegetables stock, stirring continiously until the sauce has a average consistency (neither too think nor to thin).

5. Se adauga sare si piper dupa gust, maraul si se da deoparte / Add salt and pepper to taste, dill and keep aside.
