Nastya: | December 17th, 2012 | 10:22 am

Marina: | November 7th, 2012 | 7:55 pm
Hello! thanks for interesting, and most importantly delicious recipes. my children love beans very much and so I will try to cook according to your recipe. I cook it myself a little differently - after cooking, I fry the onion a little until translucent, add beans, beat a raw egg a little with water, add a little simmer to the beans, salt, pepper, a little saffron - I like the color and aroma, utskho suneli green cilantro and everything is eaten very quickly . Try it, maybe someone will like it.
Alexandra: | August 11th, 2012 | 7:52 pm
I love frozen beans because they can be cooked with one hand (the other is often occupied by the baby))
my recipe is in a frying pan under a lid with the addition of water, vegetable oil, salt and sesame seeds. I keep it under the lid until it defrosts and “sticks”, then without the lid until it’s ready and until the remaining water has evaporated.
Svetlana: | May 31st, 2012 | 8:22 pm
I, too, most often act like Sveta. I like that the beans have a slight nutty flavor. Sunflower oil.
Olli: | May 30th, 2012 | 7:54 am
I cook the beans approximately the same way as Sveta does it, only I also add pepper (ground black, of course), but at the very end, when the beans are almost, but not quite ready, I rub a bun or a piece of bread (preferably stale) in my hands right over the frying pan. it will crumble easier) and fry the beans along with the resulting crumbs. It seems like nonsense, but the dish becomes much tastier. It is important to catch the moment when to add the crumbs. It should have time to fry until crispy, but the beans should not become too soft. Give it a try. I also cook other frozen vegetables with crumbs, except for those mixtures that produce abundant juice when cooked (lecho, for example).
Answer: I'll try it with the baby. Something tells me this will be delicious. And at the same time, the uneaten pieces of bread will be refilled :)
Oksana: | May 26th, 2012 | 1:24 pm
You can also add dried garlic and sesame seeds.
Masha Mironova: | May 22nd, 2012 | 9:12 am
And I brought as much as five kilos from Kazakhstan))) A wonderful thing. Maybe look where you sell dried fruits at the market? Even here in the north, the difference in price compared to store-bought packages and chickpeas from the market is huge, but there is almost no difference in the chickpeas themselves.
Answer: I tried chickpeas. My grandmother cooked it (with chicken and butter). I can’t say that I really liked it, just like peas. But I didn’t cook it myself. Thanks for the tip. I'll pay attention.
Masha Mironova: | May 21st, 2012 | 6:38 pm
Dash, don’t you have hummus in your repertoire of side dishes? I recently figured out chickpeas and fell in love with them...
Answer: alas, Masha, I don’t cook hummus. You won’t find chickpeas here during the day, and even if you do find them, the price discourages anyone from buying them.
Sveta: | May 21st, 2012 | 6:50 am
I throw the frozen one straight into the frying pan + cooking oil + salt. All. This is what I understand)))
Fast and tasty. Both the color and crunch are in place.
Can be topped with sour cream when serving
Elena: | May 20th, 2012 | 9:22 am
Thanks for the good site and interesting recipes. Unfortunately I didn't like it very much.
Boil, drain, cool, drain, heat again. Most of the usefulness waved its hand. After all, food should not only be tasty, but, if possible, also as healthy as possible. Maybe it’s better to “boil-drain-fill”?
Answer: if you want :) But when the beans are cooled cold water, then this is what returns her green color and retains a pleasant “crunch”. But eating cold beans is not very pleasant, so you need to heat them up again. The healthiest beans are raw ones. But I want it to still be tasty...
Katerina: | May 19th, 2012 | 8:13 pm

According to the recipe below, you can cook both frozen beans (in our example) and fresh ones, the method and cooking time do not change in any way. First, you need to boil the beans. If you, like us, decide to use frozen green beans.
We draw your attention to the fact that frozen vegetables and fruits are not defrosted before cooking. This allows you to preserve useful substances in them, which, if defrosted, are very quickly lost.
Therefore, before you take the beans out of the freezer, you need to prepare the water for cooking them. Since the pods of green beans are quite voluminous, take a larger saucepan and pour enough water into it so that they (the pods) cook “free-floating” and do not stew (although this option also works, it will just take more time). So in our example, 400 grams of beans required about 2 liters of water.
Put the water on the fire and when it boils add a little salt, and if you don’t like too salty dishes, you don’t have to add salt at all, as we will do this again during frying. At this point you can already take the beans out of the freezer. If you froze it yourself, it was most likely already washed before freezing and no additional washing is required.
If you use frozen vegetables from the store, it is better to lightly rinse the pods under running cold water. Pour the beans into boiling water; the boiling will stop temporarily due to the fact that the product is cold.
Once the water boils again, cook for 15 minutes. In this case, the beans turn out soft and juicy. But if you prefer benefits to taste, then you can cook less, seven minutes in this case will be enough, then the bean pods will be slightly crispy, but will retain more useful substances.
After the selected time has passed, drain the boiled beans in a colander or sieve. Allow excess water to drain, but do not let the pods cool too much.
While the broth is draining, prepare the oil for frying. Again, if you like to eat delicious food, we recommend frying the pods in two types of butter, butter and vegetable. In this case, butter will add taste, aroma and goldenness, and vegetable oil will prevent it from burning. If you are a fan of healthy eating, then use only vegetable oil.
To prevent the oil from “shooting”, pour vegetable oil into the frying pan, and when it warms up slightly, add a piece of butter.
Wait until it is completely melted.
Now you can put the green beans in the pan.
Salt generously and lightly pepper. Stir.
Fry until a golden crust appears, the appearance of which means that fried green beans ready. You can also cook chicken fillet with green beans
