The 3x boiling method is used by many... so thank you for mentioning it. Alternately, baking soda is sometimes used instead of the vinegar. Sunflower oil was most commonly used in Romania... which explains the difference in taste you noticed. Again, thanks so much for stopping by and sharing. Wishing you a wonderful New Year!

I discovered it by looking for a receipt of cozonac (I am Romanian also, living in Montreal, Canada) but one adapted for the measures and ingredients from North America. <br />I write in English for the use of your English speaking visitors. <br />Today (23 Dec 2018) I just discovered your "Fasole batuta" receipt and I would like to make some comments.<br />1. All beans are toxic (kind of) and the result of their toxicity is the gas-s-s-s. For this reason, the cooking should be a little longer and with some amendments: the overnight soaking in brine helps a lot (I do the same) but I also boil it three times, for a couple of minutes, and throw the water each time. I have a pot with hot water on the stove to be able to continue faster. For the first two boiling steps, I add a tablespoon of vinegar in the water (the toxicity stuff). I keep the broth from the third step.<br />2. I tried with olive oil a few times and I didn't find the taste I use to. So, I tried the sunflower oil and that's it! The olive oil just doesn't match everything!<br />Everything else is just the same.<br /><br />You have an awesome collection of receipt!<br /><br />Un An Nou Fericit si La Multi Ani 2019!<br />CTVctv https://www.blogger.com/profile/17580327820275770903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590241869561905455.post-91025737308281089082018-04-27T23:17:45.973-07:002018-04-27T23:17:45.973-07:00Thanks for sharing this recipe, Ellie.
