Traditional Newfoundland Stewed Beans or Bean Soup.

Newfoundland's stewed beans recipe has deep historical roots, reflecting the island's reliance on hearty, simple dishes that utilize available ingredients. While pinpointing an exact origin date is challenging, such recipes have been integral to Newfoundland's culinary traditions for generations.
These recipes often feature dried beans, root vegetables, and sometimes salt beef or pork, reflecting the resourcefulness of early settlers who relied on preserved foods to endure harsh winters. The practice of preparing large pots of beans, especially on weekends, was common across Canada, including Newfoundland, as a means to provide sustenance with minimal effort.

My mom always soaked Lima Beans and then cooked in pot with ham or hambone We would eat it over rice and we would have cornbread We live in South Carolina Yum

[@sharonadamson1593]

My mom was from New Melbourne, Trinity Bay. She always called this Boiled Beans. We add turnip, carrots and potatoes with lots of onions! I typically use a leftover ham bone instead of salt beef as I have to rely on friends to bring me some from home. Love, love your channel. I love hearing the Newfie accent! Greetings from Fredericton, NB

[@Mary-qi8tz]

The beans look delicious! I cook a lot of different types of beans and I love adding potatoes and carrots to the big lima beans. My Czech side of the family makes bread dumplings to have with either roast pork or chicken with sour cream gravy. We make them out of flour, milk, eggs, salt and bread cubes. When we used to visit my great aunt in Baltimore, she usually cooked roast pork, dumplings, succotash and sauerkraut. What great memories!

[@jaym8027]

My Irish mother always called rutabagas turnips as well. I remember the first time I asked my wife to pick up turnips at the market and she came home with...turnips. There was a lot of confusion in the kitchen that day. She'd sometimes call them swedes too. This looks like an amazing winter meal - cheers!

[@heatherchambers1609]

Homemade baked beans. Mom would soak the beans, cook them long hours for more of a tomato sauce than a sweet sauce. Excellent.

[@BerniceTaylor-q7s]

Love boiled beans but never used potato ...will give it a go. It looks scrumptious.

[@maggiecritchley7282]

Mom called it Boiled Beans as well. It was delicious.

[@janemyers8077]

My grandfather and my mother always had dumplings on beef stew..delicious…my grandfather was a cook in the army (2nd WW) and owned an Inn after the war and this was one of his staple meals…same method without the sugar..lol (live in southern Ontario)

[@user-fs6ou3fk9p]

I had a meaty ham bone from a spiral ham I needed to use, so I made a ham and bean soup.

[@LorraineFong-k3u]

Looks so good .My mother always made this when we were growing up i have never made this myself now my daughter wants me to make this she have never had them so im going to give it a try

[@mapleleaf902]

Well this will inspire me to make this. Thank you.

[@carolynborden7257]

Awesome as usual!! Love you and your parents cooking together! I make baked beans but with kidney beans and I never soak. I rinse and parboil for about an hour. Then bake 4 to 5 hours. Always turn out great. A few of mine have actually been sent to NL for moose hunting and they all love them( a bit of bragging)) LOL I might try your bean stew. Looks good.

[@DarleneOsmond]

I cook mine the same way. It’s a delicious meal

[@donnaramada9505]

That looks delicious!

[@larrysmith6499]

Looks delicious

[@katherineaustin2477]

Looks yummy

[@jackieellenbarnes1268]

Another Great Video ☺️

[@melissalambert7615]

My mom didn't soak white beans but did soak pinto beans to make Mexican dishes. We say rutabaga but know people in Scandi countries that call it a turnip. In New England we call them dumplings but in the south of the US their dumplings are a rolled out thick dough but into squares. Hello from Oregon US.

[@JudyBranton]

One of my favorite meals, my grandmother always made this and her dough boys were amazing- she was a true Newfoundland cook and I like to think - I cook like the people on the island. When I lived in Ottawa - my mainlander friends loved my cooking , they always said Newfoundland cooking was the best! But I have to be totally honest , my bough boys are hit and miss Lololo but after watching this video - I think my failure in the Dough boy department will improve lolol- I just love love your videos and your voice is very soothing !, thank you for sharing

[@jimhurley714]

My uncle freezes his turnip in the deep freezer. The best

[@Stephc1212]

I always boil my beans before baking them, never soak them, and they come out perfect.

[@tonycallahan8550]

Looks delicious. Enjoy your channel.

[@DeniseFrampton]

Looks amazing!

[@lucymercer3520]

Love the food…. Mail a plate to me please……..🥰🥰😊Lucy from Ontario.

[@KarenSanderson1]

We use the dumplings on top chicken stew call it Chicken and Dumplings same as your dumplings !!! Your beans and douhbois look great!

[@jimarsenault3122]

I love baked beans, however I’ve never had them as a stew, I must say it looks delicious, I would love to try some. Pickled beef is not that common here in PEI, I guess one could compare it a bit to a ham with the bone in, I know beef and pork is not the same but it would give you that salty flavour. Enjoying your videos, keep them coming.

[@Roheryn100]

@@jimarsenault3122 Would you call it corned beef instead ?

[@NewfieLifestyle]

That is another word for it. In Newfoundland, we call it salt beef. Other parts of Canada and the US would call it corn beef, but I'm not sure if the process of curing the beef is different or a different cut is used. You can also get salt riblets.

[@jimhurley714]

Nice looking feed there. ❤

[@tuckerandi]

With the exception of all that sugar LOL, I'm joking of course , but with the exception of any sugar our doughboy recipe is exactly the same and always turns our great, nothing like a doughboy in a pot of pea soup that's when I usually make them , boiled beans is not something we have much but my wife loves them and after watching your video tonight I'd say won't be long before our next batch lol. We don't soak them over night for boiled beans but we do when we make bake beans. Now that I've finished watching I got to go raid the fridge and cupboards . Have a great week my friends.

[@leonardburns1780]

Looks good im gonna try this thank you

[@JuniorHunt-vn2cr]

Wicked feed love boiled beans 👍

[@jackieellenbarnes1268]

I Love Beans 🫘 and Cornbread 😊. Yours look So Good. I was glad to see a New Video from your Channel ☺️

[@leannekenyoung]

Wow that looks delicious! I’m curious what extra spices did you add to this pot of stewed beans? I’ve never heard of stewed beans but my mom used to make dumplings similar to your mom the only differences she never added sugar and she used crisco lard instead of butter. That you for reminding me of when my mom made dumplings she passed away a few years ago and I miss her every single day! I know she would’ve loved watching your channel . We are in Ontario and mom always put her dumplings on top of her beef stew. We never ate beans growing up except for the brown beans out of a can but I think that was because my moms mom passed away when she was 7 so she never learned her mothers ways of cooking so we lost a lot of our heritage in cooking because of that. It will be an honour to attempt to recreate your mom’s stewed beans! I’m looking forward to it! By the way my mom used to call rutabaga turnip as well and I showed her once what a turnip actually was it’s a small round vegetable with white on the bottom and purple around the top of the ball and of course green tops but mom said well this is what we always called a turnip and always will! 😊🥰❤️🙏🏻🇨🇦🍁

[@colleens7641]

That looks soo delicious. Thanks for sharing.

[@dilkycorteling2586]

We add potatoes to the vegetable soup too . Possibly a England thing....

[@carolynborden7257]

PS. I live in NS! And we always call them doughboys!

[@effielarkin3044]

What's behind Soaking the beans the night before? The reason this is done is to remove impurities from the beans...and then rinse the impurities out the next morning. You would be amazed at what comes out in that water. In Macedonia and Serbia they throw the water 3 times which means...soak overnight..pitch water and rinse..now boil for ten minutes or so and then throw the water..do it again and now start the soup.

[@deanm4138]

That’s the way my mom did them, no touch and right off the spoon. The other one I liked growing up is the pastry on top of the roast beef dinner

[@SandraNelson063]

The potatoes absorb the salt from the beef. So are necessary! 😊

[@3251JOE]

My grandmother made, and I make bean, lentil or green pea soup with stock from a ham bone and the cut up pieces of ham meat. Our dumplings are much like your's except we add egg and the dough is less wet. We add about teaspoon sized lumps to the fully boiling pot of soup. They initially float on top, but sink down in after a few minutes off heat. We like the small dumpling to spoon up with the soup. Your pot of beans were enticing, but I've never had such with salted (corned?) beef.

[@beth.marie.1]

I always thought turnips and rutabagas were 2 different things. Anyway, they’re both good 😀

[@NewfieLifestyle]

You're absolutely right. Here in Newfoundland, most people call a rutabagas a turnip and a turnip a rutabagas. The white bottom with purple top is a turnip. We eat the rutabaga and call it turnip, and that upsets a lot of people 😄

[@lindagiammarco2687]

I was always taught they were turnips. Being of italian decent i miss lasagna. And italian anise cookies that were always made at Christmas and Easter.

[@jdman-ohio]

Jim my mom always put dumplings on our sauerkraut just before it was done.

[@donnaramada9505]

You sound and cook similar to the appilacian people in north Carolina, US.

[@SandraNelson063]

Appalachian. 😊

[@timbancroft8936]

what were u saving the turnip skin for?

[@NewfieLifestyle]

Dad keeps all the vegetable peels for the chickens.

[@jackieellenbarnes1268]

Here in the United States, We call them Turnips. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I call them Dumplings. I make them like you. My Children and Grandchildren loves My Greenbean, Smoked Sausage and Potato 🥔 Dish. Quick, Easy and Delicious 🤤

[@greenQT]

In California we have turnips ( white flesh ) and rutabagas ( yellow flesh ). They are different and taste different. To me a turnip has more of a radish flavor and the rutabaga is sweet and earthy tasting. I love them both. Karla in Cali.

[@jackieellenbarnes1268]

@ , I don’t know if I ever had a rutabaga before.
