Tip: If you don't have vegetable stock ready, dissolve 1 broth tablet in 2.5 liters of water or simply use filtered water.

Place the oil, garlic, paio, bacon, onion and bay leaves on the fire. Saute for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally so as not to burn. Add the tomato paste and let it cook for another 2 minutes.

Place the chopped mocotó in the stew pan and also add the drained beans, celery and carrots. Mix everything and cover with the broth from the mocotó cooking. Cook for about 20 minutes or until this soup of mocotó and beans is thickened.

Taste your mocotó with white beans and match the flavor with salt and pepper, if necessary. Serve sprinkled with a little chives and parsley and enjoy!
