How to make Tbilisi salad with beef and beans? Prepare the ingredients. Tbilisi salad is usually made with canned beans. This is much easier and faster. I suggest an option with fresh boiled beans. Delicious both so and so.
Peel and slice the onions into thin half rings. I took red, it tastes sweeter and is better for salads. But you can also use ordinary bulb.
Pour apple cider vinegar over the onion, stir and leave to marinate for 15 minutes. Then drain the vinegar. Pickling allows you to get rid of excess bitterness and sharpness of onions.
How to boil red beans? Soak the beans the day before in cold water and leave for the night. Then boil the beans in plenty of water until soft, about 1. 5 hours. Tip the finished beans into a colander and dry.
Fry walnuts in a dry pan, this will make them more fragrant and crispy. Then chop the nuts with a knife.
Peel the red bell pepper from the seeds and cut into thin strips.
Pre-boil the beef. How to boil beef for salad? Boil the water in a saucepan and lower the meat into boiling water in one piece. Then the beef will remain soft and juicy. Cook the meat for about 1. 5 hours, add salt and spices to taste at the end. Cool the finished beef and cut into straws.
Wash well garlic and parsley (or rather cilantro), dry, and then chop finely.
Put the cooked beef, beans, bell peppers, pickled onions, walnuts, garlic and parsley in the salad bowl. Salt the salad, pepper, pour vegetable oil and mix. Serve to the table. Enjoy your meal!
