Ilona, a very interesting recipe. (y) We love beans very much, we must try! Do frozen beans work?

Probably delicious until blue in the face, tomato and protein!

Definitely mine, I'll cook it in the week, I need to buy beans, my own was not born this year.

[Natasha]

Do frozen beans work?

Natasha, Yes. The only thing that according to the recipe the beans should be cut finely enough, ideally - cutting at an angle and each segment for 1 grain, so the taste is fuller and more harmonious, as well as the appearance of the dish. I also cooked from frozen beans (in the photos) of a larger cut - no less good taste. When cooked, frozen beans provide more liquid and therefore require less added water.

tomato and protein!

Kate, quite a self-sufficient dish, not a side dish, and was indicated in some sources as an option for dinner.

Definitely mine, I'll cook in the week

Maria,. and I doubted and thought about cooking, as for me an unusual combination of ingredients, but the dish was to my taste.

beans should be chopped finely enough, ideally cut at an angle and each segment for 1 grain

Oh, I have just such a cut!

[Natasha]

Natasha, great option. By the way, when serving, it is not necessary to shape the beans, and in a crumbly form on a serving plate it looks quite appetizing.

[Ilona]

Ilona, I cooked beans. Half of the family liked it, half did not. Maybe because I did not make from asparagus, but from common beans. I ice her for soup when she is still young.

The photo is not very high quality.
Well, I'll cook when half of the family is not at home!

and I doubted and thought about cooking

But this is in vain, sooo tasty. No less tasty, everything is the same, only instead of beans, leeks, I strongly advise everyone to try it, delicious, if you like such food, of course.

[Natasha]

Natasha, thanks for the review and for the photo!

Half of the family liked it, half did not.

It happens.

Maybe because I did not make from asparagus, but from common beans. I ice her for soup when she is still young.

No, the recipe assumes regular fresh green beans, which can be consumed as an asparagus variety when unripe. But after freezing without preliminary blanching, the beans may develop a characteristic aftertaste that is hardly noticeable when cooking with garlic, hot peppers, bay leaves or with meat ingredients, and the aftertaste is hardly noticeable with a sufficiently long cooking time. Did you blanch the beans before freezing? If yes, then, as a possible option, the dish lacked acid (tomatoes) or creaminess (butter). In general, the dish itself may not be to your taste, it happens and it is good that you wrote about it, it will be useful to others. Thank you .

But this is in vain, sooo tasty.

Maria, have you already prepared or theoretically? Thanks for the leek option, yes, it tastes good.

[Ilona]

Ilona, I did, I found leftovers of beans from last year in the freezer, I have a legume, a handful of absolutely, well, the same amount of rice by eye, a spoonful of tomato sauce. By this principle, I always do it with leeks in the season or with mushrooms, it's sooo tasty, but I would never even think about beans.

[Maria]

Maria, thanks for the tip! Yes, it's a good combination with mushrooms, sometimes I cook it like a risotto.

[Ilona]

Ilona, no, she didn't blanch. In general, the first time I decided to freeze. A lot has remained mature since last year, but this year the summer is bad, I was afraid that it would not ripen (it really did not mature) and decided to freeze the green one. Last year I also froze the eggplants, I didn't like it, and then I read that I had to bake them first.
But still I will do it!

[Natasha]

Natasha, I used to do without blanching the beans, but compared and the difference was so obvious that now I prefer this option for freezing.

But still I will do it!

Half a pity? Seriously though, sometimes the dish will catch on, so you bring it to your taste. I would be glad if you share. Good luck and good mood!

Half a pity? Seriously though, sometimes the dish will catch on, so you bring it to your taste.

Well, I will try to cook it so that everyone likes it! This is definitely - hooked!
Everything is so simple, familiar, it should turn out deliciously!

[Natasha]

Natashastubborn, huh? I remember my Half did not eat eggplants and pumpkin, now my favorite and irreplaceable vegetables are on the menu, the main thing is to find an option, but it is not always the one you think of. You can try the round rice, it is a little softer and has a creamy taste, but you know better what your Half prefers.

stubborn, huh?

Yeah, but we don't eat zucchini at all! Yeah, we don't eat, Well, well!

Yeah, we don't eat, Well, well!

it is good not to forget about your favorites / favorite dishes and alternate with new ones.

[Ilona]

Ilona, well, it goes without saying!

only half, this is the father! Very suspicious of new things!

[Natasha]

Natasha, by the way I had to.

Clear. I see. Try, as an option, to leave a little more liquid at the end of cooking or add hot peppers or paprika when serving, there were also such options for serving the dish.

[Ilona]

Ilona, everything is fine!
Yes, I will try in different ways. Let just a little time pass!

[Natasha]

Natasha., good luck!

[Corsica]

Corsica, Ilona, just cooked green asparagus beans with rice almost according to your recipe. Almost - because I added a little bell pepper, cut into small cubes.All vegetables - beans, tomatoes and peppers - were frozen. It turned out VERY tasty. Thank you! It would never occur to you to cook green beans with rice - live, learn
By the way, I added a little more cumin from spices, I add it almost everywhere. This is just in case, suddenly it will be useful to someone. Zira did not spoil anything here, and even vice versa. Thanks again!

[Canned food]

Canned food, Svetlana, to your health and thanks for the tip! When cooking, I adhered to the traditional combination of ingredients. It is very good that you varied the recipe according to your taste preferences. Thanks for your cooking option, I'll take a note.
