If you've been on Vegan Cocotte before, you've probably noticed how much I love beans.
Prebranac is a recipe that I've loved from the first bite. It's a rich and comforting Serbian baked beans recipe made with just a handful of ingredients.
While beans are obviously the star of the show, onions are almost equally as important in prebranac.
That's because this is technically a recipe for baked beans with caramelised onions, and it tastes as delicious as it sounds.
Prebranac is traditionally made with beans cooked from scratch, but you can definitely cut some corners and used canned beans instead.
This way, you can have these amazing Serbian baked beans on the table in just over an hour.
Why you'll love prebranac
· It's a slow-cooked delight that's also very good for you.
· It's naturally vegan and perfect for lunch or a light dinner.
· Prebranac tastes even better the next days because the flavours have more time to set, so it's a great recipe for meal prep.
