Boiled Flower beans (cooking)

completed

simmered

Flower beans are related to kidney beans and are the largest of the beans. This time it is a purple bean line, and the flowers of the crop are bright scarlet. Place the beans that have been soaked in water overnight and swollen, put them in a pressure cooker containing appropriate amounts of sugar and salt, heat for 11 minutes at a steady state, and remove from heat. Sprinkle with cinnamon when cool and set aside. Delicious.

花豆の煮もの（料理）

花豆はインゲンマメの仲間で、マメのなかで最大級に大きい。今回のものは紫豆の系統で、作物の花は鮮やかな緋色である。一昼夜水浸して膨れた豆を、砂糖、塩各適量を入れた圧力鍋に掛け、定常状態にして11分加熱し、火から降ろす。冷めたところでシナモンを振り、取り分ける。美味。

Flower beans as a New Year's dish (cooking)

Kuromame (black soybeans) is a popular Japanese osechi dish (New Year's dish), but instead of that, we make simmered hanamame beans. Because it tastes good. A large kidney bean with scarlet flowers. In Japan, Nagano Prefecture, which has a high altitude, is the main production area, but recently, products from China are on the market.

Add sugar and salt sparingly to the beans that have been soaked in water for a day and night, and simmer in a pressure cooker at constant pressure for 20 minutes. When the pan has cooled, sprinkle with cinnamon and serve on a plate. With just the right texture, we can enjoy it during the New Year.

正月料理としての花豆（料理）

日本の「おせち料理」（正月料理）として、「黒豆」（黒大豆）はポピュラーだが、我が家ではそれに代わって「花豆」の煮豆を作る。味が良いから。大型のインゲンマメで、花は緋色。日本では高度の高い長野県が主産地だが、最近は中国産が出回っている。

一昼夜水浸させた豆に砂糖、塩をそれぞれ控え目に加え、圧力鍋で定圧後２０分煮る。鍋が冷めたらシナモンを振り、皿に盛る。適度な舌触りで、正月中楽しめる。
