Pasulj (from phaseolus;[1] пасуљ), grah (грах) or grav (грав) is a bean stew made of usually white, cranberry or pinto beans, and kidney beans, [2] 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.[3] Other commonly used ingredients include carrots and onions. Another version of the dish using baked beans is known as prebranac.
It is sometimes known in English as Serbian bean soup,[4][5][6] and in German-speaking countries as Serbische Bohnensuppe ("Serbian bean soup").[7] In North 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.[8]
