How to make it
- DAY ONE
- Rinse beans, place in a bowl, cover with water and let stand at room temperature for 24 hours
- In a 7 - 8 quart slow cooker, stir together broth, onion, wine, garlic, thyme, cloves, bay leaves, and pepper.
- Remove as much fat as possible from meat
- Place one cut up slice of bacon in a skillet, ( I use two skillets to save some time ). Heat skillet to medium high. Sear meat on all sides to develop flavor and add color.
- Add browned meat to broth mixture, cover and cook on high for 6 hours.
- Then, remove meat, set aside until cool enough to handle
- Strain broth, remove solids and return broth to crock pot
- Separate meat from bones, and cut into bite sized pieces, return meat to broth. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- DAY TWO
- Skim off and discard fat from broth
- Drain and rinse beans. Add to slow cooker with broth & meat.
- Add carrots, tomatoes and kielbasa.
- Cover and cook on low 8 - 10 hours, until beans are tender
- If stew is thin, turn heat to high and cook for one hour.
- Season with pepper.
- serve with crusty bread or toasted panko crumbs
