String beans in Caucasian style - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use frozen string beans instead of fresh?

Yes, frozen string beans work well. Boil them according to package instructions until tender, then proceed with the recipe.

What's a good substitute for cilantro?

If you dislike cilantro, try using fresh parsley or dill. They offer a similar fresh, herbaceous flavor.

How long can I store leftover string beans in Caucasian style?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The beans might become slightly softer, but the flavor will remain delicious.

Can I make this recipe vegan?

Absolutely! Simply ensure the oil you're using is plant-based. The recipe is naturally vegetarian and easily adapted to be vegan.

What kind of nuts are best for this dish?

Walnuts are traditionally used and provide a great flavor pairing. However, almonds, pistachios, or hazelnuts also work well.

Can I prepare this dish ahead of time?

Yes, you can boil the beans and marinate the onions ahead of time. Combine everything else just before serving to keep the ingredients fresh and vibrant.

Is there a substitute for pomegranate seeds?

If you don't have pomegranate seeds, dried cranberries or a sprinkle of sumac can offer a similar tartness and visual appeal.

What's the best way to adjust the acidity?

Taste the onions after marinating. If they're too tart, rinse them lightly with water before adding them to the beans. If they're not tart enough, add a splash more vinegar to the onion marinade.
