Baked beans dish

I'm not a beans specialist, to be honest for a long time I wasn’t a beans fan. I admit, I underestimated it. In addition to its nutritional energy value, beans also contain lecithin, potassium, calcium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc and sodium. It is an excellent source of protein, low in fat and cholesterol. Enough, I convinced you that you should put beans more often to your menu.

Tavce gravce is a traditional Macedonian specialty. It is prepared from fresh Macedonian beans and can be ordered in almost all Macedonian national restaurants. It is served in earthenware bowls. In order to be tasty the baked beans need slow cooking, much like the boiled beans, in fact, many Macedonian traditional dishes require time to prepare.
