Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
Fill the beans with cold water and leave to soak overnight. After the time has elapsed, drain the water from the beans, put the beans in a deep saucepan, pour clean water and put on fire. Bring the water to a boil, remove the resulting foam, reduce the heat, close the pan with a lid and cook the beans over medium heat until it is ready.
Step 2:
Cut onion into cubes and lightly fry in vegetable oil.
Step 3:
When the beans are ready, pour the broth into a separate container (it will still be useful to us), and add fried onions to the boiled beans in a saucepan, salt and mix.
Step 4:
Preparing 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.
Step 5:
Using a blender, chop the walnuts, add the garlic passed through the press and mix.
Step 6:
In a saucepan to red beans with fried onions, add tomato paste, nut-garlic mixture, pour the dressing with spices and 1 cup of broth from under the beans. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes over medium heat. If the lobio seems dry, add more broth from under the beans and bring the lobio to the desired consistency.
Step 7:
Wash coriander and parsley, dry and finely chop.
Step 8:
Spread the lobio on a large dish, sprinkle with chopped herbs and serve to the table.
The amount of broth added can be very different, it is necessary to focus on your preferences, since the consistency of lobio can be different. In Georgian families, both liquid lobio, almost like soup, and thick versions are prepared. I prefer the medium version - beans with a thick sauce.
Lobio should be served with lavash, shotis puri bread or mchadi corn tortillas. For greater brightness, lobio can be decorated with pomegranate seeds. And, of course, a glass of good Georgian wine should be served to the table.
