Lobio is a classic Georgian dish. Different types of beans (green, red) and ingredients can be used in its preparation, depending on family traditions and regions of Georgia. We suggest preparing lobio from red beans, following a simple step-by-step recipe. To make the dish aromatic, we will need a bunch of fresh cilantro. Instead of tomatoes, we will use tomato paste. Remember: small-grain beans boil and cook faster than large-grain ones.
Step 1
Prepare the beans. Cover the beans with clean water and cook for an hour.
Step 2
Prepare the frying. Fry the onion in vegetable oil until golden brown. Add the tomato sauce and a little water. Stir.
Step 3
Make lobio. Add beans, garlic, khmeli-suneli. Mix everything and simmer under the lid for 30 minutes on low heat.
Step 4
Season the finished dish with pepper and salt to taste.
