General rules and secrets of cooking beans for lobio

Beans do not tolerate fuss! She needs planning!

How to Make Bean Seeds

  1. There are more than 500 varieties of cultivated beans. The cooking time for each bean is different.

Never cook several types of beans together: you run the risk of getting unevenly cooked beans that will ruin the dish. In addition, undercooked beans contain the toxic substance feazin, which can cause dysbiosis

  1. Before cooking, soak the bean seeds in cold clean water for 7-8 hours. Proportions for soaking beans: 100 g beans / 400 ml water

It is such a canned protein that is the famous plant protein that the human body needs so much. In addition, oligosaccharides harmful to us dissolve in the process of de-preservation
  • To avoid fermentation, place a container of soaked beans in the refrigerator.
  • Never speed up the cooking time of beans with baking soda. Soda kills all the beneficial properties of beans
  • When soaking, add 1 tsp to the bean container ordinary table salt for every 250 g of beans. This will speed up the process of subsequent cooking and improve the taste of beans

  4. To facilitate intestinal function, drain the "first" bean broth immediately after boiling. Gently drain the water, add the same amount of clean boiling water, add a pinch of salt and cook the beans until tender.
  5. Beans do not like boiling hot. She needs a quiet and even boiling
  6. The readiness of the beans is determined by the broken skin and soft beans

  5. Put soaked beans in boiling salted water and cook for 4-5 minutes from the moment of boiling water again. For old pods, increase the cooking time to 7-10 minutes
  6. Ready green beans do not crunch, but remain firm
  7. Once the readiness of the beans is determined, fold the pods into a colander, and preferably, place in a container with cold water. Cold water will stop the heat treatment of the product due to its own temperature and preserve the taste of the beans. Fold the cooled beans into a colander

During this time, it will absorb part of the liquid, become softer and you do not need to boil it for too long.

Immediately before cooking the lobio from beans, in Georgian, peel the onion heads and chop them into cubes. Next, rinse the basil or tarragon, chop them with a knife, put in a bowl, add wine vinegar and grind into the pulp with a stupa.

The classic red bean lobio recipe is a culinary creation of the peoples of the western part of Transcaucasia, part of their daily diet. Under the plain appearance of bean stew with ingenious cooking technology hides a gourmet and nutritious dish with lots of spices and spices.

Lobio is an important part of the Armenian, Azerbaijani and Georgian cuisines. It is cooked often and everywhere, each hostess has her own vision of the dish, the secret of cooking beans and a set of seasonings to give a unique taste.

An interesting fact from history

Traditionally, lobio was made from dolichos, an ancient leguminous crop. These are exotic ivory beans. They are oval in shape and have a white scallop. Now dolichos is widespread in India.

Most of the modern recipes of the Transcaucasian Lobio are based on ordinary beans, so do not bother looking for the fruits of a climbing plant of the legume family, exotic for Russian lands.

Which beans to choose for lobio?

Different types of beans are used in cooking, but most housewives prefer to cook from red, which is well-digested, retains its shape better, without turning the dish into gruel, with proper cooking. You can use green legumes or canned beans (for cooking in a limited time).

  1. A sure sign of bean readiness is a torn peel. The standard ratio of water / product during cooking is 2: 1.
  2. When cooking lobio, it is recommended to slightly crush the beans. Do not make extra efforts, otherwise you will get bean porridge with a consistency reminiscent of a cream.
  3. Soak old beans overnight. The minimum time for softening is 4 hours, the optimal is half a day.
  4. It is not recommended to mix several varieties of beans during cooking. A mix of legumes will negatively affect the stomach, since it is very difficult to properly prepare a dish from several varieties of beans. Each type requires a certain time for soaking and a different heat treatment.
  5. Be moderate when using seasonings, fragrant herbs, hot spices. Try to focus on a few ingredients, rather than mix everything in a row.

Lobio translated from Georgian - beans! Is that all? Nope .....

To my great regret, I have never been to Georgia and I do not have a single Georgian acquaintance who knows how to cook lobio. Why, who knows how to cook lobio? I simply do not have a single Georgian acquaintance! But I love Lobio ..... and eat and do.

A dish is prepared in about (very) an hour, BUT .... Not in one day!

There are not many ingredients, but the herbs are seasonal and if in summer they can be bought from the metro, now it threatens to go to the store (large and expensive) or to the market (far-away).

Pre-ignition.

1. Fuel components and their quantity.

Beans (any color and caliber, but the same) - 450-500 grams, onions (any color, caliber

7-8 cm) - 4 pcs., Amidors (any color, caliber 7-8 cm) - 4 pcs., Garlic (medium caliber) - 2-4 teeth (depending on severity and personal preference), walnuts (caliber 8-10 mm) - a glass or a mug, sunflower oil (2 grades - refined and smell) - 100-150 grams (total), vinegar (3-5%) - 100-150 grams, as well as herbs and spices, but about them SEPARATELY. ..

Mandatory (in order of importance) - kin-dza-dza (such a large bunch), parsley (bunch), dill (bunch).

Optional - mint, oregano, tarragon, well, to which you can reach - just a little ....

Sunelnie hops, ground black pepper (or a mixture of pertseff), ground red pepper sweet and hot.

Main ignition(the day before).

Rinse the beans thoroughly several times (preferably in a drushlag), so there may be stones and sand (pipets for teeth), pour cold filtered water three to five cm above the level of the beans. After 1-2 hours, catch the pop-up, and therefore spoiled beans, rinse again and pour fresh cold filtered water for 12-18 hours (the longer the lock, the faster the cooking).

In parallel, potential consumers of lobio can be involved, such as wives, husbands, children, relatives, pets ....

Give the children a healthy and tasty game - sort through about a pound of peeled walnuts.

There is also a lot of garbage. The goal is to collect a glass of nuts up to half the size of a quarter of a whole. Do you understand what I said? Here, I myself get confused .... Gee-gee-gee .... If you mix it up, then there will be less nuts in the dish, and this is a pity!

Looking for nuts such as the right .....

You also need to wash the greens, cut off the stems and dry the tops and roots (stems). Dried up? Remove greens until tomorrow.

Cut the stalks and pour it into a jar with a lid (from mayonnaise, mustard, etc.), pour the prepared vinegar. If you do not have peppermint, you can drip there 1-2 drops of pharmacy tincture. Close the jar, shake several times and set aside until tomorrow.

Start!

1. Drain the water, rinse the beans again, carefully sort the beans and remove damaged, worms, etc. Pour the beans with fresh filtered water so that the water is 1 cm from above, bring to a boil and cook on a maaaaaalenky fire until cooked, 30-60 minutes.

DO NOT SALT !!!  You have to try - it should be slightly elastic and not fall apart.

2. Again, in parallel, we do this: Take my wonderful pot or your closest analogue, pour REFINED  oil gram 30 and fry ONE  finely chopped onion until light or dark brown (as you like).

5 minutes - normal flight .....

We take out the onion with a slotted spoon and put the remaining onion in its place, but cut into a quarter-rings (can I make myself clear?), Pass it under the lid for about five minutes .....

Then we add the tomatoes cut into small cubes (5-8 mm) there (you can peel them, but don’t bother much with this) and for another 10-15 minutes without a lid over high heat, stirring regularly .....

20 minutes - normal flight ......

The bow should be transparent, but keep in shape. Reduce the fire to a minimum and joyfully  we dump everything we stocked there - the first fried onions, nuts, OIL WITH ODOR, chopped greens (not finely) ....

Vinegar (can be filtered, but not necessary), finely chopped or squeezed garlic. Next two spices teahouses  tablespoons of hops-suneli, half a tablespoon of ground black pepper, red ground sweet pepper - a spoon and hot - half a spoon, two tablespoons of salt and half a spoon of sugar.

30 minutes - is the flight normal?

Stir and warm for 10 minutes over low heat. The color of greenery should not turn into dark olive.

I have sometimes  processes 1 and 2 end simultaneously.

3. Drain the water from the beans and again joyfully, but carefully dump it into the pan with .... uh, brew or heat (how to look), mix very carefully (trying not to crush the beans) and warm for another 10 minutes.

40 minutes - are we still flying?

Hooray! We are in ORBIT!

Bon appetite!

But tomorrow, it’s even tastier ..... if it remains until tomorrow .....
