Beans are no less widespread in Armenian cuisine than meat. This is due not only to their taste and nutritional value but also to their exceptional health benefits. For this reason, Armenians give beans a special place in their cuisine.

Preparation method:

Red beans – 2 cups

Water – 1.5 liters

Onion – 2 pieces

Shelled walnuts – 0.5 kg

A small amount of flour and clarified butter

Cilantro

Salt and spices (red pepper)

Pour cold water over the washed beans and leave them to soak for six hours, then wash them well again. Add water once more, bring it to a boil over medium heat, and remove the foam. After that, reduce the heat and cook until ready.

Mash the cooked beans through a sieve and dilute them with the bean broth until a thick mixture forms. Add finely chopped sautéed onion, crushed walnuts, flour diluted with bean broth, salt, pepper, and cilantro. Mix everything together, dilute with the remaining water, and bring it to a boil. The bean soup is ready.
