Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make lobio from canned beans? To begin with, the walnuts peeled from the shells and partitions should be lightly fried in a dry frying pan (without oil). As soon as the nuts give a smell and are browned, remove them from the heat and let them cool down a little. Meanwhile, rinse the cilantro thoroughly in running water and flip it into a colander so that all the water runs off.
Step 2:
Peel the red onion from the husk and cut into strips about 2 cm long. You can safely use white onions.
Step 3:
Heat 3 tablespoons of sunflower oil in a frying pan and put the onion to fry. As soon as it softens a little, add paprika and ground black pepper.
Step 4:
Now you need to throw the canned red beans into a colander. Do not pour out the liquid! We'll need it again.
Step 5:
Send the beans to the pan to warm up a little and fry for 2-3 minutes on medium heat.
Step 6:
And now add the liquid from under the beans to the pan. Simmer the dish for 20-25 minutes, stirring. If the liquid has time to evaporate, add a little boiling water and simmer again. The idea is for the main ingredients to combine their tastes and have time to "fall in love" with each other.
Step 7:
It's time to do nuts. You can use a blender to grind them. But I like it when the nuts are felt in the dish, and so I just cut them with a knife, but quite finely.
Step 8:
Also cut the cilantro. If you are not a fan of cilantro, you can also use parsley. But, of course, it is cilantro that fits into this dish as a native.
Step 9:
Mix nuts, cilantro, garlic grated on a fine grater, 2 tbsp sunflower oil, red wine vinegar and suneli hops in a separate bowl. Add salt to taste.
Step 10:
By this time, almost all the liquid had already evaporated from the beans. Check this: use a spatula to spread the beans in the middle of the pan and estimate the amount of liquid. It should remain quite a bit.
Step 11:
You can safely send coriander with nuts and spices to the pan. And now my signature secret. At this stage, I add 1 tablespoon of sugar to the lobio in order for the dish to acquire another shade of taste.
Step 12:
Mix well and simmer for another couple of minutes. Done!
I love Georgian cuisine. Therefore, sometimes I try to portray "something like" and pamper myself and my loved ones with unusual dishes for us.
Lobio according to this recipe has become wildly popular with my family. This rather budget dish is guaranteed to fill the whole house with stunning flavors, and will awaken the appetite of your household (and not only).
I serve lobio as a hot snack on slices of black bread. It's very tasty. Bon appetit!
Important! An incorrectly selected frying pan can ruin even the best recipe. All the details on how to choose the perfect frying pan for different dishes read here .
Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it. How to determine the roasting temperature and choose the best oil for frying, and which one is better not to use at all, read here .
If you use ready-made spice mixes, be sure to read the composition on the package. Often, salt is already present in such mixtures, take this into account, otherwise you risk over-salting the dish.
