This Spanish Butter Bean & Potato Stew, known as un Guiso de Judiones de la Granja con Patatas, is what heartwarming and delicious food is all about. We’re talking layer upon layer of so many great flavors, heart-healthy ingredients and all done in a little over 40 minutes.
To make this recipe, I used canned butter beans. Just to make things easier and quicker. Of course, you can also use dried butter beans if you like. Just soak them in plenty of water overnight and then simmer the following day for 1 to 2 hours or until tender.
For the liquid, I used homemade vegetable broth. However, chicken or beef broth is traditionally used here. So you can go either way. For the potatoes, I used yukon golds. You want to make sure to use potatoes that are a bit more waxy than starchy. As they hold their shape better in stews.
TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: To make the thickener, I used a mortar & pestle. You can also use a food processor, blender or even nutri-bullet. This stew will hold for up to 3 to 4 days in the fridge and freeze for up to 3 months. Just add in some liquid when reheating.

Ingredients
- 3tbspextra virgin olive oil45 ml
- 2slices baguette3/4 inch (2 cm) thick each
- 8clovesgarlic
- 2tbspchopped parsley8 grams
- 1onion
- 2carrots
- 2tspsweet smoked Spanish paprika5 grams
- 1tspground cumin3 grams
- 2tomatoes
- 2potatoes
- 2cansbutter beans15.5 oz / 440 grams each
- 3cupsvegetable broth720 ml
- 1bay leaf
- sea salt & black pepper
Instructions
Heat a stock pot with a medium heat and add in the olive oil
After a couple of minutes add in the slices of baguette and 4 whole cloves of garlic, fry the ingredients until golden fried all around
In the meantime, finely chop the onion, roughly chop 4 cloves of garlic and cut the carrots (peeled) into small bite-size pieces
After about 4 minutes and the slices of baguette and cloves of garlic are golden fried, transfer them into a mortar and set aside
Using the same pan with the same heat, add in the chopped vegetables, mix continuously, after 4 minutes and the ingredients are lightly sauteed, add in the paprika and cumin, quickly mix together, then add in 2 tomatoes finely grated and season generously wth sea salt & black pepper, mix together and then simmer for a few minutes
In the meantime, cut the potatoes (peeled) into small bite-size pieces that are 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick and drain the cans of butter beans into a colander and rinse the beans under water
Once the grated tomato has thickened, about 5 minutes, add in the chopped potatoes, drained butter beans and just enough vegetable broth to barely cover the ingredients, then add in the bay leaf and turn it up to a high heat, when it comes to a boil, place a lid on the stock pot and lower to a low-medium heat
While the stew is simmering, move back to the mortar with the fried baguette and garlic, add in the chopped parsley and a kiss of sea salt, using a pestle, pound down on the ingredients until you form a paste-like texture, you can also use a food processor, blender or nutri-bullet
After simmering the stew for 20 minutes and the potatoes are just cooked through, you can always pierce them with a toothpick, add in the bread and garlic mixture, give it a gentle mix until well mixed, then remove from the heat
Transfer into shallow bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, enjoy!
