This was an attempt to make a lighter version of the Georgian “lobiani”. Only in the Georgian version you need to take dry beans and then cook them.
I really don’t like boiled beans, so I decided to use canned ones.
The taste of freshly cooked beans with onions turned out amazing - exactly like fried mushrooms, you can’t tell the difference. Although later, in the pies, the taste became different - more starchy.
But as a filling, this mixture showed its bad side. Since it turned out to be quite liquid, the pies did not want to roll out into anything; they burst at the slightest pressure. It wasn’t until the fifth pie that I learned to cope with this - I stopped rolling them out with a rolling pin, and started stretching them with my fingers - first along the edges, and then in the middle.
The pies taste quite good. But next time I will still make regular plump pies with this filling - fried in oil or baked.
I absolutely did not like frying in a dry frying pan.

Interesting to know
Pirozhki, along with dumplings, occupy a place of honor in traditional Ukrainian cuisine. A variety of fillings for pies are popular here, such as curd, berry, meat, liver and many others. Ukrainians also love bean pies, but mostly savory ones, with fried onions. The recipe for sweet bean pies has been undeservedly forgotten. In the old days, special beans were grown for such pies, popularly called “chocolate” beans because of their light cocoa color. These beans can still be found on the market; they have a thin skin, cook well, acquiring a pinkish color. The filling of such beans with the addition of sugar, honey and butter is incredibly tasty. But, of course, you can prepare the filling from other, preferably red, varieties of beans.

Making pies

Pour it into a bowl, add yeast, three tablespoons of flour, a spoonful of sugar. Stir and leave for fifteen minutes. Then add flour to the bowl with the dough, beat in the egg, add oil and salt. Knead the dough well until it sticks to your hands. Cover the bowl with soft dough with cling film and leave in a warm place for sixty minutes so that it can increase in volume.
This time is more than enough to prepare the filling for the bean pies. Open the canned beans and place them in a colander. Leave in it until all excess liquid has drained. Then place the beans in the blender bowl. Fry the peeled and finely chopped onion in a frying pan until light brown. Place the onion from the frying pan onto the beans. Add crushed garlic cloves, ground pepper and a little salt to them.
Forming pies
Grind all filling ingredients until smooth using a blender. Now for the bean pies recipe you need to go back to the dough. The risen dough must be kneaded again and divided into ten equal parts. Form them into balls and cover again with film. Set them aside for another fifteen minutes. All preparations are completed, and you can begin to form pies directly from the dough and filling.
Dust the surface with flour and roll out each ball into a small oblong cake. Place the bean filling in the center and carefully pinch the edges of the dough. Form the remaining oval pies in the same way. Next, place baking parchment on the bottom of the baking sheet and grease it with oil. Place the prepared pies on a baking sheet, leaving a small distance between them. Let the pies rest for another twenty minutes. Then beat one egg with a whisk and brush all the pies well.
Place the pan in the oven. The pies will be ready in twenty minutes at an oven temperature of one hundred and eighty degrees. Transfer the browned fluffy bean pies to a plate and serve slightly cooled. Soft pastries filled with beans are tasty and nutritious. It can easily replace a full dinner.

Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let the prepared dough rest.

Then chop them, chop the onion, and grate the carrots. Pour some oil into a saucepan and place it on the stove. After heating the oil, transfer the onions and carrots to a saucepan for frying.
Fry the vegetables, stirring for about ten minutes. Add tomato paste to them. Stir and place canned beans on top. Immediately sprinkle with red pepper, salt and stir.

Do you like beans? Then try these bean pies! Here is a short step-by-step recipe, as well as filling options that will help diversify and improve such a flour product.
What is special about bean pies? They are very nutritious! After all, beans, like all legumes, are rich in proteins (21% in dry weight, just like meat!) and B vitamins.
Beans can be mixed with other ingredients to create wonderful flavor combinations!
For pies, I recommend using boiled beans. I also recommend preparing it in advance so as not to waste precious time. I will briefly describe this process.
Preparing the beans
You bought beans - great! But you can’t start cooking it right away.
Firstly, you need to sort it out, since there is a very high probability that among the beans there will also be all sorts of pebbles and other debris. Those who are lazy then run the risk of ruining their mood and also being left without a tooth.
The next stage is soaking. It is advisable to add water in the evening and leave it in the refrigerator until the morning. During this time, the beans will swell and become a little softer. Aim for 6-8 hours.
If you skip this step, the beans will take a very long time to cook, and after eating them you may experience gas and other stomach problems. The fact is that during soaking, chemical reactions occur in the beans, during which harmful compounds (antinutrients) are destroyed.
Are the beans steeped? Great, drain the old water, pour in fresh water, put it on the stove and bring to a boil. Cooking time is 40-60 minutes, although it can be longer. Just take 1-3 beans to try from time to time. If they are soft, then the beans are ready and can be removed.
Add salt only at the very end, 10 minutes before the end of cooking. If you add it at the beginning, then, as practice shows, the cooking time increases greatly. Some people add soda, thinking that it will help it cook faster, but I personally haven’t noticed anything like that. Maybe I didn't add enough.
That's it, drain the water and let the beans cool. Now you can stew it, mash it and add it anywhere.
Yes, it’s not that easy to cook beans, but the results are worth it! You will receive a tasty and healthy product from which you can make many dishes, in our case these are pies.
