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。
