- Serve Grah iz Ćupa with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt for added creaminess.
- If you prefer a thicker stew, you can mash some of the cooked beans with a fork or blend a portion of the stew before adding the vinegar.

Serving advice
Grah iz Ćupa is best served hot, straight from the pot. Accompany it with a slice of crusty bread to soak up the flavorful broth. Add a fresh green salad on the side for a refreshing contrast.
