Red Bean Lobio

Cookinero 26 Mar 2025

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.
