Lobio with Nuts and Mint
Ingredients
- Beans 20 oz
- Onion 3 heads
- Malt Vinegar ¼ cup
- Vegetable Oil ¼ cup
- Walnuts 0 oz

- Savory 2 sprigs
- Fresh basil leaves 1½ tablespoons

Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Soak the beans in cold water for 6–24 hours, changing the water 1–2 times.
Step 2
Rinse the beans, cover with cold water (the water should slightly cover the beans), and boil over moderate heat with a lid until the beans are cooked. If all the water evaporates before the beans are ready, add boiling water (not cold water!).
Step 3
Crush the nuts finely with garlic, red pepper, and salt. Dilute with wine vinegar (boil the vinegar for 2–3 minutes with basil beforehand). Add the remaining spices.
Step 4
Without letting the cooked beans cool, place them in a dish with the sautéed onions, salt, and sauté for 3–4 minutes (or simply let the beans absorb the heated oil).
Step 5
Transfer the beans with onions to an enamel or porcelain dish and mix with the nut mixture.
Step 6
You can also sprinkle with finely chopped herbs.
