jota

Jota is a bean and potato stew found in Slovenian cooking. The Vipava version uses grated turnips fermented in pomace. Potatoes and turnips are cooked separately, then combined with cooked brown beans and some of the potato cooking water; the potatoes and beans are mashed together.[1]

A mixture of onion, oil and flour thickens the stew. Salt and pepper season it, and a piece of homemade sausage or dried meat may be added.[1]
