Classic Serbian Sautéed Beans Curry

Assemble the ingredients: beans, cinnamon, black pepper, bay leaf, flour, onion, lemon juice.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the beans and cook until sautéed.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Serbian flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Serbian accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
