    In the morning, drain the water in which the beans were soaked, rinse them again, add fresh water, put on fire and cook the beans until half cooked. 30 minutes of cooking is enough; the beans must not remain hard or, conversely, become overcooked.

  3. STEP 3

    We prepare the jars in advance: wash them with soda, sterilize them using one of the proven methods: in a water bath, in the oven or in the microwave. Wash and boil the lids, dry them. It is better to use small jars for this preparation, so that after opening the snack will be eaten quickly. Place the lobio in the jars. We roll them up and let them cool “under the fur coat” at room temperature. Store in a cool place. Bon appetit!
