How to make
Clean and soak the beans overnight in 4 1/5 cups (1 L) cold water. The next morning, rinse them and put in a clay pot. Add in the chopped onions, carrots, dried peppers, tomatoes, 1 1/3 tbsp (20 ml) olive oil, the baking soda, salt, pinch of sugar and the thyme.
Fill with water until you have 2 finger widths of space from the top, cover and boil at 390°F (200 °C) for about 40-50 min., then lower to 320°F (160 °C) and boil 3 hours.
Cut the sausages into pieces and fry briefly in the remaining olive oil. Take them out and in the same oil put the paprika and flour, stir, then after 1 min. add the tomato paste which you've diluted in 1 1/3 tbsp (20 ml) water and season with savory.
Stir everything and once it bubbles, remove from the stove. Take the clay pot out of the oven, remove the lid and put the sausages and roux in it, stir and season with spearmint.
Return to the oven at 360°F (180 °C) for another 15 min. without a lid.
