Legend has it that Queen Tamara tasted this dish first during one of the military campaigns. Having lost the supply train, the soldiers quickly became exhausted and could barely stand on their feet to continue the campaign or return home. They stopped for a rest by the river. There was a small hut where a woman and her son lived. The warriors asked for something to eat, but their house was damaged by robbers who left only beans and some spices.
It was not possible to feed the exhausted warriors with such products, so after drinking water, they went to bed. They were awakened by the incredible aroma of beans, garlic, herbs and onions. This was prepared by the hostess's son. Thus he decided to win the favor of the queen. Despite the simplicity of the dish, the queen, accustomed to the delights, tasted it and was amazed. She asked the young man: "What is this food that gives amazing strength?". And the young man replied: "Lobio." The army was able to continue its journey, and lobio began to be served to the most noble rich people.

In literal translation, lobio means beans and combines in its name all dishes prepared on the basis of boiled beans. Lobio from red beans according to this recipe refers to lean dishes, and it can also be included in the vegetarian menu.
