Whole grain red beans with walnuts

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 13 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Pour cold water over the beans and leave to soak overnight. After the time has passed, drain the water from the beans, transfer the beans to a deep saucepan, fill with clean water and put on fire. Bring the water to a boil, skim off the resulting foam, reduce the heat, cover the pan with a lid and cook the beans over medium heat until they are done.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the onion into cubes and lightly fry in vegetable oil.

3. STEP 3

   

   When the beans are ready, pour the broth into a separate container (we will need it later), and add the fried onions to the boiled beans in the pan, add salt and mix.

4. STEP 4

   

   Prepare vinegar dressing for lobio. Pour apple cider vinegar into a small saucepan or ladle and add spices: suneli hops, oregano, coriander and paprika. Mix everything and bring the mixture to a boil, then cook it for another 2 minutes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Using a blender, grind the walnuts, add the garlic passed through a press and mix.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add tomato paste, nut-garlic mixture to the red beans with fried onions in a saucepan, add seasoning and 1 cup of bean broth. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes over medium heat. If the lobio seems a little dry, add more bean broth and bring the lobio to the desired consistency.

7. STEP 7

   

   Wash the cilantro and parsley, dry and finely chop.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place the lobio on a large plate, sprinkle with chopped herbs and serve.
