Cooking Bean Puree with Onions:
1. Wash the beans, put them in a bowl and cover with drinking water. The amount of liquid should be 3 times more than that of legumes, because the beans will absorb most of it. Leave it to soak for 6 hours. At the same time, change the water every 2 hours to prevent the beans from fermenting.
2. After 6 hours, rinse the beans under running water, transfer to a cooking pot, fill with clean fresh water and cook after boiling for about 2 hours. Do not cover the pot with a lid. Season the beans with salt 20 minutes before the end of cooking. Always make sure that the beans are well cooked, because raw and semi-raw legumes contain toxic substances.
3. Peel the onion, rinse and chop into half rings. Melt the butter in a skillet and fry the onion until golden brown.
4. Tilt the boiled beans on a sieve to drain all the water and place them in a convenient deep container. Add the sautéed onion to it, pouring out the oil in which it was fried.
5. Take a blender and beat the food until smooth, so that it turns into a puree consistency.
6. Taste the mixture and season with salt if necessary. Although, if you wish, you can make it sweet by adding a little sugar. You can also add dried apricots, prunes, raisins or other dried fruits to the sweet base.
