Although it may seem a little unusual to use apples to prepare beans, this recipe has several health benefits. First, it should be noted that due to the greater nutritional value of carioca or carioquinha beans, this will be the type used in this preparation.
The apple is a fruit rich in vitamin C, fiber, antioxidant elements, calcium, quercetin, among other nutrients. In this way, beans combined with apples help with digestion, strengthening the immune system, controlling cholesterol levels and preventing vision problems.
To prepare the beans this new way, you will need:
First, it is necessary to soak the bean grains together with the garlic for approximately 20 minutes. After that time, after draining the beans, you will need to cook them over medium heat in a pressure cooker along with the whole apple and bay leaves.
When finished cooking, crush two cloves of garlic and coriander in a bowl. After that, saute this mixture in a pan and add the beans delicately while mixing until it boils completely.
That way, with the beans ready, you can still do a trick to make the broth thicker, if you are interested. To do this, just take two bean shells, beat them a little until they form a paste and add them back to the pan. Thus, your recipe will be more nutritious and tasty.
