About this Recipe

Inspired by the Georgian dish lobio, these beans deliver bold flavors with the warmth of our Kharcho spice blend and the crunch of walnuts. While they’re a perfect filling for khachapuri, they're equally delicious served on their own with flatbread for a hearty, vegan meal. Mashed to a chunky texture, the beans are infused with the rich flavors of paprika, garlic, and Kharcho, creating a comforting and flavorful dish that's easy to prepare and full of authentic Georgian taste.

Instructions

1
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.
2
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the Hungarian paprika and Kharcho spice blend, stirring to coat the onions and garlic with the spices.
3
Add the roasted chopped tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
4
Stir in the drained kidney beans and chopped walnuts. Cook for another 7-10 minutes until the beans are heated through.
5
Using a potato masher or the back of a spoon, mash about 3/4 of the beans, leaving some whole for a chunky texture, similar to refried beans. Stir well to combine.
6
Season with Pacific Flake sea salt to taste, then remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with warm flatbread on the side.
