  • Start by making the dough: dissolve the dry yeast in warm water and stir in the vegetable oil. Sift all-purpose flour into a wide bowl, make a well in the center, and pour in the yeast water. Add salt and begin mixing with a fork; once the dough gets too stiff for the fork, keep kneading by hand. Roll the dough into a ball and let it rest in a warm spot for an hour to rise. Or, to make it even easier, knead the dough in a bread machine on a dough setting. Meanwhile, make the filling: put the cooked beans (or canned beans, drained) into a bowl. Add tomatoes with the skins removed, cut into small dice. To peel the tomatoes easily, dunk them in boiling water for a couple of seconds, then quickly plunge them into cold water. Add finely chopped fresh green onion and spices to taste. This is where you can experiment — along with salt and ground pepper, try turmeric, khmeli-suneli (a Georgian spice blend), and dried parsley. Then mash the filling any way you like — run it through a meat grinder, mash it with a pestle, or use a blender. Just leave some larger pieces in there too, since it tastes better that way. Roll the dough out very thin (about 2–3 mm) and cut out rounds. Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each, then fold and pinch the edges closed like a dumpling. You can crimp the edge with a fork. Fry the pies in batches in plenty of hot vegetable oil, about 3 minutes per side, until evenly golden. Transfer them to a layer of paper towels to drain the excess oil. Serve the pies warm. They come out tasty and hearty and can easily stand on their own as a main course. Enjoy!
