Olla

Recipe from Mémé Néna.

Ingredients:

  • swiss chard
  • turnips
  • potatoes
  • rice
  • white beans
  • thick bacon/ribs
  • ribs
  • saffron

Preparation:

For an “Olla” ready at midday:

The day before, salt the meat and put them in the fridge.

The night before, soak the beans (quantity: the bottom of a soup bowl) in a big volume of water.

The morning of the day (around 9:30am), cook the beans in cold water for a good hour.

At 10:30am, rinse the beans, the salted pork and the bacon, dump them in a large pot of water. Bring to the boil and then add the swiss chards and the turnips.

At 11:30am add the potatoes and 5 minutes later the rice (if it’s minute rice, adjust accordingly) and some saffron.

Taste and add salt and pepper as necessary.
