White bean lobio
Description
The recipe won't take much time. You can prepare white bean lobio for any occasion. This dish is especially good during fasting periods. Lobio can be enjoyed both hot and cold. Add salt and spices to taste during cooking. Lobio goes very well with fresh herbs, and in this case, it pairs especially deliciously with parsley. Serve hot.
