Beans are a part of so many dishes - both first and second; it can be both a side dish and a snack. Not so long ago, only white and red varieties of this culture were familiar to our compatriots. However, somehow quickly and imperceptibly a certain place in our diet was occupied by green beans. True, individuals are still confused and think that asparagus, green, and capsicum are separate cultures, but it seems that people will figure it out over time. It remains only to tell him how to cook green beans - both at a time when it is easily accessible, and in the winter months, when fresh it is not available.

To begin with, we will determine to whom it will be useful, and to whose health it can cause some damage.

To whom and what will be useful bean pod

For starters, those who have problems with the intestines and stomach. Fiber, which is abundant in green beans, actively promotes digestion, and in this process, toxins and toxins are also removed from your body. String beans are no less rich in proteins, from which almost everything is formed, and primarily muscle tissue. The compound carbohydrates that make up these beans increase a person’s tone, give strength and strengthen immunity with the regular use of such beans.

Among those who are particularly useful for string beans are diabetics. It has the ability to stabilize blood sugar, so those with a low degree of diabetes can do without artificial insulin. And the iron, which is part of the string beans, maintains the quality of blood at the right level. There are few calories in it, while its use accelerates the metabolism, so the product is very suitable for those who are on a diet.

Who Should Avoid Asparagus Beans

Fiber can not only benefit, but also cause some harm to those who have digestive problems: sick with cholecystitis, an ulcer, any gastritis or suffers from high acidity. Such beans and gout are not useful. However, the rest of these legumes are harmless, unless they can cause a rise in gas formation. However, this trouble can easily be avoided if the beans are boiled, but immediately after boiling, drain the water and pour fresh.

International Bean Dishes: Chinese Offers

Now let's figure it out in such a way as to enjoy eating it. Let's start with the appetizers. Many European, Asian, and Latin American countries use these beans in salads. For example, you can cook the following Chinese dish: it will require 100 g of parsley and celery, 300 - the beans themselves, half a glass of tomato sauce (preferably spicy or savory) and the usual component of Chinese dishes is sodium glutamate in the amount of a teaspoon. This recipe for green beans will appeal not only to lovers of Chinese cuisine, but also to fans of fast food. The pods, most of the parsley and celery are boiled in salted water, cut obliquely and poured with sauce, which is pre-mixed with glutamate. After laying out on a dish (or in a salad bowl), garnish with the rest of the parsley - and serve.

International dishes with beans: what will delight Mexico

No less interesting can be cooked green beans (chilli) according to the recipe of this Latin American country. For it, take (in addition to the main ingredient in the amount of half a kilogram) of red pepper, salt and herbs of dried coriander (all spices to taste) and 60 grams of butter - either olive or ordinary cream. The preparation itself is elementary: peeled and chopped beans are cooked until fully cooked, decanted through a fine colander or sieve and seasoned with seasonings, coriander and oil in a warm form. If you choose cream, you should pre-soften it (you can just at room temperature) or grind with herbs.

International Bean dishes: Greece is also rich in ideas

The Mediterranean also willingly uses such a component in its dishes. So, Greece can offer interesting and tasty dishes from green beans, and this time not salads. From these beans, you can cook a hearty and unusual full-fledged second. For it, you will need a pound of beans, four finely chopped cloves of garlic, a couple of spoons of vegetable oil (in the original - naturally, olive), a couple of onions and carrots, 400 g of canned peeled tomatoes, a teaspoon of oregano and salt. Garlic is lightly fried in the heated oil, beans are added to it, everything is mixed, and chopped (smaller) tomatoes are introduced. After boiling, the fire decreases, and the contents of the saucepan are extinguished for about 30 minutes. A sign of readiness will be the softness of the beans and almost boiled tomato juice. Then a dressing is prepared from finely chopped carrots and onions, stored in olive oil. It is added to the main dish, which, after the start of boiling, is salted, pepper and removed from the stove. Served on the table as an independent dish, sprinkled with herbs.

Frozen base

Despite the growing popularity of these legumes, not everyone has the opportunity to purchase them fresh. And then the question arises of how to cook green beans, if bought frozen. The best option is to make a garnish out of it, and one that is suitable for meat dishes, and as an accompaniment to cereals, pasta or potatoes. In addition to frozen beans, you will need garlic, onions, peppers, salt and vegetable (again, preferably olive) oil. All components are taken "by eye". Beans are pre-boiled, and for this you do not need to defrost. Manufacturers often recommend doing this for about twenty minutes, but this time is clearly excessive - the product loses its natural color and shape. Five minutes after boiling will be enough. Boiled beans at the same time are immersed in ice water to maintain their appearance. While it “fixes”, onion is let in on the oil, into which the beans are added, and a little later - garlic and pepper. All components are slightly fried, then the container is covered with a lid, and the food languishes under it for several minutes to mutually soak the ingredients with each other's aromas. Naturally, this is not the only way frozen bean beans can be cooked. The recipes are very diverse, but this one seemed to us the most appetizing.

The strained and cooled beans are packaged in bags or containers (sleeves) for freezing, the container is tied or packed and put into the freezer.
