Bean salad with chips

Description

Perfect for an everyday table. I make the croutons myself using white bread with garlic added, fried in sunflower oil. You can buy ready-made ones, but I wanted to do it all myself. I use canned red beans. If you use fresh beans, soak them in cold water for 24 hours; after that, they cook much faster. Garnish optionally and serve.

Instructions

   Step 1

   I wash the meat and put it in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Then I remove the foam that forms and simmer for 40-50 minutes.

   Step 2

   I take the boiled meat out of the pot and let it cool, then cut it into small pieces. I wash the cucumber and slice it into strips.

   Step 3

   In a separate bowl, I pour sunflower oil, peel the garlic cloves, and squeeze them into the bowl with the oil.

   Step 4

   I cut the bread into small cubes. I heat a pan and add the bread, pour over sunflower oil with garlic, and fry until golden and crispy.
