Well, if we are talking about fasting, then butter is not suitable)) I do not argue that it tastes better!)
Answer: Anton, thanks for the comment! Of course, you don't need to fill with butter during Lent.

Gulya: | December 9th, 2015 | 7:52 dp

Gul: | May 16th, 2014 | 8:52 dp

Cut the beans into the desired shape and boil in salted water. Throw in a colander. Fry the onions in a cast-iron pan (you can also add potatoes in cubes), top the beans, pepper, add salt to taste and you're done. Tasty. Sometimes I add tomatoes and bell peppers to the passing onions.
Answer: Gul, thank you very much!

Faith: | July 1st, 2013 | 4:33 dp

Can be poured with egg at the end of frying

OL ": | May 17th, 2013 | 9:08 pm

and at the end, you can still add garlic and a spoon - two sour cream, and steam it a little. tasty.

Nastya: | December 17th, 2012 | 10:22 am

and when I heat it up, I break a couple of eggs in there ... It turns out very tasty :)

Marina: | November 7th, 2012 | 7:55 pm

Hello! Thank you for the interesting and, most importantly, delicious recipes. my children love beans very much, so I will try to cook according to your recipe. I cook a little differently - after boiling, I fry the onion a little until transparent, add the beans, beat the raw egg a little with water, add a little stew to the beans, salt, pepper, a little saffron - I like the color and aroma, the utskho sunlit the cilantro greens and everything is eaten very quickly ... Try it, maybe someone will like it.

Alexandra: | August 11th, 2012 | 7:52 pm

I love frozen beans because they can be cooked with one hand (the second is often occupied by a baby))
my recipe is in a skillet under a lid with the addition of water, vegetable oil, salt and sesame seeds. I keep it under the lid until it thaws and “grabs”, then without the lid - until cooked and until the remaining water evaporates.

Svetlana: | May 31st, 2012 | 8:22 pm

I, too, most often act like Sveta. I like the fact that the beans have a weak nutty taste. Sunflower oil.

Olli: | May 30th, 2012 | 7:54 dp

I cook the beans in approximately the same way as Sveta does, only add pepper (ground black, of course), but at the very end, when the beans are almost, but not yet quite ready, I grind a bun or a slice of bread in my hands right above the frying pan (preferably stale, it will be easier to crumble) and fry the beans along with the resulting crumbs. It seems like nonsense, but the dish becomes much tastier. Here it is important to catch the moment when to fall asleep the crumb. It should have time to fry until crisp, but the beans should not become too soft. Try it. I also cook other frozen vegetables with crumbs, except for those mixtures that give abundant juice during cooking (lecho, for example).

Answer: I'll try with a crumb. Something tells me that it will be delicious. And at the same time, the half-eaten pieces of bread will be attached :)

Oksana: | May 26th, 2012 | 1:24 pp

You can also add dried garlic and sesame seeds.

Masha Mironova: | May 22nd, 2012 | 9:12 dp

And I brought five kilos from Kazakhstan))) A wonderful thing. Maybe look where you have dried fruits on the market? Even in our north, the difference in price compared to store packages and chickpeas from the bazaar is huge, but there is almost no difference in chickpeas themselves.

Answer: I tried chickpeas. My grandmother cooked it (with chicken and butter). I will not say that I liked it very much, like peas. But I didn't cook myself. Thanks for the tip. I will pay attention.

Masha Mironova: | May 21st, 2012 | 6:38 pm

Dash, do you have any side dishes in your piggy bank with hummus? I recently figured out with chickpeas, and fell in love with him ...

Answer: alas, Masha, I don't cook hummus. You won't find chickpeas with us in the daytime with fire, and if you come across it, then the price for it discourages any desire to buy.

Sveta: | May 21st, 2012 | 6:50 dp

I throw straight frozen in the pan + vegetable oil + salt. Everything. That's what I understand)))
Fast and tasty. And the color and the crystal are in place.
Can be seasoned with sour cream when serving

Elena: | May 20th, 2012 | 9:22 am

Thanks for the nice website and interesting recipes. Unfortunately, I didn't like it very much.
Boil-drain-cool-drain-heat again. Most of the goodies waved a pen. After all, food should not only be tasty, but, if possible, also as healthy as possible. Maybe ‘boiled-poured-filled’ is better?

Answer: if you like :) But when the beans are cooled with cold water, this is what returns them to their green color and retains a pleasant crunch. And eating cold beans is not very joyful, so you need to reheat them. The healthiest beans are raw. But you want it to be tasty….

Katerina: | May 19th, 2012 | 8:13 pm

mmm .. I love green beans! thanks for the next tsu! as a child, my mother prepared a salad of green beans, onions and eggs. all this was dressed with mayonnaise. I will definitely try the right way of cooking!
