When there is not enough money for meat, such beans help me out: satisfying and very tasty

How much I love beans! And today I want to share with you a very tasty, simple recipe for making beans. This dish can be used as an independent dish (which I do) or as a side dish. And if eaten cold, then also as a salad.

I highly recommend trying these beans. The dish turns out to be very satisfying. This is how you can cook red beans and white beans. Tasty with anyone.

For video lovers, I have prepared a short video recipe for making beans, see:

Step-by-step recipe with a photo of how to cook delicious beans

I always soak beans in cold water beforehand. Everybody does that.

You can soak it overnight, or longer….

The beans will swell well and double in size.

I put the beans in a saucepan, fill them with water and put them on the fire, let them boil for a while.

I'll take care of vegetables at this time.

Finely chop the onion.

I rub the carrots on a coarse grater.

I heat up a frying pan with two tablespoons of vegetable oil and spread the onions. I cook for 5 minutes, stirring.

Then add the carrots and cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

The beans are boiling, I'm skimming off the foam. I always add some baking soda - ¼ part teaspoon. This will cook the beans faster and softer. I don’t salt. I add bay leaves, sweet peas and cloves. The beans will be very aromatic. I cook it until cooked. The time depends on the type of beans. I cooked for 45 minutes. It could have been even smaller, I digested a little.

I drain the liquid from the beans.

Reheat vegetables in a skillet and add beans. Now I salt and pepper to taste. Add the chopped garlic clove and stir. I cook for a couple of minutes. Then I let the dish brew for another 10 minutes.
