Print
Inspired by the Georgian dish lobio, these beans deliver bold flavors with the warmth of our Kharcho spice blend and the crunch of walnuts. While they’re a perfect filling for khachapuri, they're equally delicious served on their own with flatbread for a hearty, vegan meal. Mashed to a chunky texture, the beans are infused with the rich flavors of paprika, garlic, and Kharcho, creating a comforting and flavorful dish that's easy to prepare and full of authentic Georgian taste.
