Pasulj


Pasulj or Grah, is a bean soup made of usually white, cranberry or pinto beans, and more rarely kidney beans, that is common in Albanian, Serbian, Montenegrin, Bosnian, Croatian and Slovenian cuisine. It is normally prepared with meat, particularly smoked meat such as smoked bacon, sausage, and ham hock, and is a typical winter dish. Other commonly used ingredients include carrots and onions. Another version of the dish using baked beans is known as Prebranac. It has also spread via the diaspora, and is known in English as Serbian bean soup, and in German-speaking countries as Serbische Bohnensuppe. In North Macedonia, a spicy and thicker variant is known as Gravče na tavče.
The Serbian idiom prosto kao pasulj equates to the English as easy as pie and French simple comme chou.
