Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Soak the red beans for 6 hours or overnight. It's better to add plenty of water at once, as the beans will swell.
Step 2
In the morning, rinse the beans, cover them with fresh water, and put them on the stove.
Step 3
After boiling, cover with a lid and cook on low heat for about 1.5 hours (until soft) in UNSALTED WATER! If necessary, you can add water during cooking. Salt 5 minutes before it's done.
Step 4
Peel the carrots and grate them on a coarse grater.
Step 5
Heat the oil in a pan and sauté the carrots for 2–3 minutes over high heat.
Step 6
Add the beans and a little of the bean broth from the pot to the carrots.
Step 7
Add the tomato paste, turmeric, and a little salt. After boiling, reduce the heat and leave covered for 15-20 minutes.
Step 8
5 minutes before it's done, add the pepper, garlic (crushed or chopped), and herbs.
Step 9
Serve with rice, buckwheat, or pearl barley.
