step

Beans will cook faster if you'll soak it overnight and change the water in which it has cooked. After first boil continue cooking on a low fire. (How to find out if beans are cooked? We need to take a bean out and blow it. If the skin breaks and opens - it’s ready).

step

Cook parsley, celery stems and chopped onions with it. You can also slightly fry it in some butter or ghee. Tie the herbs together so that you can easily take them out.

step

Season the beans with cornmeal, which can be first fried (for a piquant taste) and then roasted in ghee with chopped onions, crushed garlic, chopped coriander and dill.

Serve

Akrdtsa tastes best together with some fried bacon.
