Bulgaria's everyday bean soup: dried beans simmered soft, then finished with a paprika-and-savory frying and a good deal of dried mint.
Beef shoulder braised slowly with a great deal of onion and sweet paprika, thickened at the end into a sauce heavy enough to coat a spoon. Ninety minutes of doing nothing, and most of the flavour is made in the first fifteen.
Steamed glutinous rice soaked in sweetened, salted coconut milk and served warm beside ripe mango, with a drizzle of extra coconut sauce and a scatter of sesame seeds.
