How to cook at home
To cook the beans faster, it is better to soak them in water overnight or at least for a couple of hours at least. After soaking the water you need to change and boil the beans for an hour, adding salt at the very end.
When the beans are almost ready, let's do some vegetable stew. In a pan, stew finely chopped onion and garlic, as well as carrots, cut into slices. You can stew vegetables without oil by adding a couple of spoons of broth out of the beans.
Stew carrots for five minutes, add tomatoes in their own juice (or fresh tomatoes without skin, or tomato paste). Season tomatoes with spices and salt, bring to a boil.
While stewing tomato sauce, we will cut eggplant and sweet pepper into medium-sized pieces.
Putting sliced vegetables in boiling tomato sauce. Cover and simmer for five minutes.
If necessary, add some more bean broth.
When the beans are soft, shift them to the pan, mix with vegetables and tomato sauce. Stew vegetables with beans for another 7-10 minutes together. During this time, the vegetables will be soft, and the beans will be saturated with the aroma of the sauce.
Parsley finely chop and add at the very end of cooking. Better even after the pan was removed from the heat. So parsley will save more vitamins. Mix the vegetable stew with parsley.

Very soon, namely a week after the Trinity, on June 8, the Orthodox will enter the field of the first summer post, Petrov (Peter and Paul, the people - Petrovka). As you may have guessed, it is dedicated to the two most revered apostles Peter and Paul. The abstinence will last until July 11 inclusive, and will end the next day, on the day of the memory of the apostles.
It seems not so long. But a little more than a month we will need to cook something so that the body supports the right products, and not forced to grumble , especially the one who say, first begins this career. After all, the initial ones often refuse to post, allegedly because of their severity. And people are afraid of simply not to eat, because they are accustomed to meat dishes. Meanwhile, the lean palette is quite diverse!
You just need to thoroughly get acquainted with the products that will saturate us and our families, if they also decide to fast, not only physically, but with everything they need. Fortunately, now is the perfect time, and the choice of vegetables, which more often form the basis of the lean table, is quite wide. If you add to them mushrooms, a source of protein, a full-fledged bean substitute, beans, approach the process creatively, and the problem is solved! Today we will prepare the most delicious and healthy stew that will delight everyone.
Step 1
Roasting is a specific process, not all and not all useful. Therefore, the preparation of delicious vegetable stew will be different from the traditional one. Although, if you wish, you can cook in the old manner. We will describe both methods in parallel, you choose - which one is more suitable, frying or stewing.
So, cook juicy, rinse it, clean and plan together with onions. Format - straw.
Step 2
Send them to the pan. If you decide to fry, then, as soon as the butter zashkvorchit, fry vegetables on a tiny light. Then make an eggplant.
It is desirable that this was a young vegetable that would not have to be cleaned from a hard crust. Indeed, in eggplant everything is useful, and the skin with its beautiful shade will very nicely decorate the dish. Cut the eggplant into circles, then, after salting, let it lie for a while while preparing the other ingredients.
Step 3
And we take up zucchini. Now they are being brought to the market not overripe, which is also good. Delicate zucchini in stew will be simply incomparable. What can we say about the benefits of it! So, cut the zucchini, like eggplant, in circles, you can then halve them.
Since the onion with the carrot are almost ripe (both in the process of stewing in water, and in the process of frying), we will send sliced vegetables to the pan. And you can start cooking everything together - onions, carrots, zucchini and eggplants.
Step 4
Always present in vegetable stews. Since now young cabbage is sold on the market and in stores, we will put it in the last place in the pan, along with the rest of the vegetables.
Nastroyem straw cabbage and cut into other vegetables.
Step 5
We have a few ingredients left without which the stew will not turn out tasty, nourishing and so useful! Tomato and pepper.
So that they do not break up during the cooking process, we left them for last. In a word, we cut the pepper into strips first, because we will send it before the tomato.
Step 6
Similarly, straw, cut and tomato. It is desirable that the fruit was not juicy, but firmer. Well, this is if you want our dish to look like the top five! And there - how it goes.
Send in the pan first cabbage, after five minutes - pepper, and a minute later - a tomato. And immediately nakromsay more greens. The choice is not limited - dill, parsley, celery, green onions and, which can be put directly with green feathers, and so on.
Step 7
Vyppel all in a frying pan, cover with a small fire and then for about two minutes.
As you understand, the dish is prepared within 15-20 minutes. It makes no sense to do it longer. After all, the vegetables that you bought from the category of young, who do not need long-term cooking. It’s just that almost everybody goes to the frying pan, so we don’t delay with cutting.
Step 8
Exquisite aromas have already attracted the attention of the family? Still, further it will be even tastier! We will lay out beautifully stew.
By the way, this is also an important factor in serving lean dishes. Delicious-smelling and beautiful-looking dish always attracts!
