Pasulj (from phaseolus; ), grah () or grav () is a bean stew made of usually white, cranberry or pinto beans, and more rarely kidney beans 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. 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, and in German-speaking countries as Serbische Bohnensuppe ("Serbian bean soup"). In North Macedonia, a spicy and thicker variant is known as tavče gravče (; beans on a skillet). The idiom ("simple as pasulj") equates to English as easy as pie and French simple comme chou.
