Hearty and nutritious beans, gently stewed to tenderness, harmoniously combine with aromatic fried onions, creating a rich, cozy flavor. This dish may have emerged in Russian cuisine due to the availability of ingredients and the need to prepare simple yet nourishing food. It is perfect as a standalone dish or a side to meat. The ease of preparation makes it a favorite option for both everyday dinners and fasting days when plant-based foods are especially valued.
