Pasulj (from phaseolus;[1] пасуљ), grah (грах) or grav (грав) is a bean stew made of usually white, cranberryorpinto beans, and more rarely kidney beans that is a popular dish in Balkan cuisine. It is normally prepared with meat, particularly smoked meat such as smoked bacon, sausage, and ham hock, and is a typical winter dish.[2] Other commonly used ingredients include carrots and onions. Another version of the dish using baked beans is known as prebranac (пребранац).
It is sometimes known in English as Serbian bean soup,[3][4][5] and in German-speaking countries as Serbische Bohnensuppe ("Serbian bean soup").[6]InNorth Macedonia, a spicy and thicker variant is known as tavče gravče (Тавче гравче; beans on a skillet).
The idiom prosto kao pasulj ("simple as pasulj") equates to English as easy as pie and French simple comme chou.[7]
