Mash, the recipe for which is not known to everyone, is a rare visitor to our markets. This is a legume that is grown in Central Asia - more often in Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan. In Russia, its popularity is much lower than, say, lentils.

And this is a big omission, since mung beans (beans, recipes with which are more popular, and then less useful) are just a storehouse of vegetable protein, phosphorus and calcium. These small bright green egg-shaped beans were considered in India and China to be the best food for children, the elderly and the debilitated. There is also a lot of vitamin C in mung bean. It is indispensable in the diet of those who want to improve their figure, those suffering from diabetes and just those who love the exotic and variety in food. If you bought mung bean from the market, the recipe for how you can cook it will tell you to stew it, boil it, or grind it into flour. In addition, this product can be sprouted and used in salads.

Mach. Recipe with potatoes

A glass of legumes, four glasses of water, three hundredgrams of potatoes, five tomatoes, a spoonful of tomato paste and vegetable oil - that's all you need.

You need cumin seeds, chili, garlic, fresh ginger, turmeric, s alt, sugar, and curry. Boil mung bean in plenty of water, boil potatoes separately. Throw these products on a sieve. Chili, garlic and ginger cut, rub. Cut the tomatoes into cubes or slices. Fry the cumin seeds in a frying pan, add the remaining spices, s alt, sugar, tomato and tomatoes. Then put ready-made mung beans and potatoes in the resulting sauce, stew a little and serve, sprinkled with cilantro or parsley. You can boil rice as a side dish, and serve unsweetened yogurt as an additional sauce.

Mash-mash recipe - Bulgarian scrambled eggs

This dish is similar to an Italian frittata - an omelet with various fillings that add satiety to the dish. The Bulgarian version includes cheese, paprika, tomatoes, onions and a lot of greens. For two servings of scrambled eggs, you need to take three eggs. And the amount of vegetables can vary depending on your taste. Paprika is better to take multi-colored - this will improve the appearance of the dish. Thoroughly clean the onion, cut into thin rings. In warmed butter, fry it until browned, and in the meantime, prepare the tomatoes - peel (previously doused with boiling water) and chopsmall cubes. Put in the pan with the onions. Peel the pepper from partitions (they can give bitterness) and seeds, also chop and put to fry. All ingredients should be in the pan until the paprika is soft. Brynza (you can replace it with “Feta” or Adyghe cheese) crumble and add to vegetables. Then dissolve the eggs in a pan, pepper, s alt and bring to readiness. If the cheese is s alty enough, there is no need to add s alt. It is advisable to sprinkle the finished dish with plenty of herbs.
