Who this list is for
This list is for home cooks planning to make Slovenian jota stew for six people. If you want a hearty, smoky bean and sauerkraut stew that’s filling but not heavy, this recipe is for you.

How to use this list
Start by checking your pantry and fridge for the basics: olive oil, sweet paprika, bay leaves, and apple cider vinegar. Next, shop for the fresh items—Yukon Gold potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds), a large yellow onion, carrots, and smoked sausage (14 ounces). Don’t forget the canned cannellini beans (two cans) and sauerkraut (24 ounces). Gather the rest: garlic cloves, vegetable broth, and tomato paste. Prepare your ingredients before you start cooking, chopping the vegetables and slicing the sausage so everything is ready to go.
Common mistakes
Some cooks forget to rinse the sauerkraut, which can make the stew too sour. Another issue is using the wrong potatoes; Yukon Golds hold their shape and thicken the stew naturally. Avoid skipping the smoked sausage—it’s the main source of flavor. Don’t use raw beans; canned beans are faster and soften properly in this recipe. Lastly, don’t overcook the potatoes, or they’ll turn mushy.
