Beans with vegetables - stew with potatoes and beans
Beans with vegetables are simple and do not require significant cooking experience, satisfying and tasty. Amazing combination of potatoes and beans
Beans with vegetables are an amazingly simple dish. Common and affordable vegetables: potatoes, carrots, onions, dry beans, and a little time - and you will be delighted with a wonderful dish.
In my grandmother’s garden, beans were usually sown not in a separate area, but along the perimeter. After ripening, it was peeled, always moved and stored in a bag suspended from the ceiling, otherwise the mice would feast all winter. Perhaps beans are one of the oldest plants grown by humans. It is believed that the birthplace of beans is South America, although beans were grown in Ancient Egypt, Asia, and the Roman Empire.
Content
Beans are extremely healthy due to their high content of vegetable protein and microelements. Bean protein is absorbed by the human body by two-thirds, and the microelements contained in beans help restore the body and even rejuvenate it.
I read somewhere that beans lower blood sugar levels. Beans belong to the legume family, although other plants that are not related to beans (vetch, cowpea) are often called beans. This happens due to the external similarity of the beans.
How to cook beans with vegetables? One of my friends said that cooking dry beans is a sheer pleasure. If you throw dry beans into boiling water, you can cook them almost forever. It's a joke. Of course, sooner or later the beans will cook, and most likely turn into porridge. Dry beans must be soaked before cooking. Typically, the beans are soaked the night before to cook them the next day. Thus, the beans are soaked for 6 hours before cooking. Soaking saturates the beans with moisture, making them soft, this significantly reduces the cooking time, but most importantly, it allows the beans to be cooked uniformly and not overcooked. In addition, as they say in the literature, soaking destroys substances in beans that cause known digestive effects.
In addition to the fact that beans are an important and irreplaceable ingredient in Ukrainian borscht, you can cook many delicious dishes with beans. In Georgia, there are many dishes made from beans (green, green, grain) with the common name lobio - stewed beans. A variety of Mexican dishes, the most famous of which is chili con carne with beans, commonly known as chili. However, beans in this dish are more of an additive.
Beans can be prepared much easier. For example: beans with meat or beans with vegetables - the recipe is simple and does not require significant cooking experience. The dish is hearty and tasty

- Stewed beans can be prepared from any variety.
It is important that the beans cook well and remain intact. It is better to use not the smallest beans, but elongated crescent-shaped beans. I don’t know why, but such seeds cook much better and taste better. The best choice is red beans with large seeds, which are indispensable for cooking. It is better to use not the smallest beans, but elongated crescent-shaped beans - Sort the beans, rinse thoroughly and remove all excess. You can very effectively clean beans of excess under running water. Next, cover the beans with cold water and place in the refrigerator to soak. Soaking time - from 6 hours. It is ideal to soak the beans the night before and cook the stewed beans the next day.
- The next day, cover the beans with cold water and cook. After the water begins to boil, reduce the heat slightly so that the water barely simmers, and do not cover the pan with a lid. You should not force the cooking process. Most likely, with rapid boiling, the outer part of the seeds will boil, while the inside will still be raw. It is also worth checking readiness quite often. Cooking time for beans is a thing in itself. But in any case, this process takes at least half an hour. Place the cooked beans in a colander to drain the water and pour into a deep bowl, which is covered with a plate so that the beans do not dry out.
- Peel the onion and cut into large strips.
By the way, you can add more onions to stewed beans. Heat olive oil in a frying pan. Peel the onion and cut into large strips - Fry the chopped onion in olive oil until golden brown.
This should be done over high heat without covering the pan with a lid, and stirring often enough for even frying. Fry chopped onion in olive oil until golden brown - Add boiled beans to the fried onions, after draining the remaining water from them, and finely chopped garlic with a knife.
Salt and pepper the beans and onions. Fry for 1-2 minutes, stirring. Add boiled beans to the fried onions - Scald fresh and very ripe tomatoes with boiling water, remove the skin and seeds.
Grind the tomato pulp in a blender until it becomes a tomato puree. If the tomatoes are not too ripe, you can add 1 tsp. good tomato paste. Scald fresh and very ripe tomatoes with boiling water, remove skin and seeds. - Pour tomato puree into the onions and beans, add half a glass of boiling water, 1 tsp.
sugar and ground nutmeg on the tip of a knife. To stir thoroughly. Bring the sauce to a boil, reduce heat and cover the pan with a lid. Pour tomato puree over onions and beans - The stewed beans will take 20 minutes to cook. During the stewing process, the tomato sauce should simmer very gently. Seething is strictly unacceptable.
