Bill Cumin cook: a perfect Tripolitanian meat and bean stew. Mazel Maarik opens her famous Bill Cumin cooking pot.
She attributes the intense color to the special red paprika that she buys at the spice shop in Lafia in Pardes Katz. The second secret is related to beans. Mazal does not soak the beans before cooking, the long cooking with the meat leaves it soft and tender even without soaking. Add the potatoes in the last half hour of cooking/sprinkling grapes.
