I discovered lobio in a Georgian restaurant in Paris and I instantly loved it.
I tried several times to reproduce it since, never managed to reproduce the exact original, but it every time evolved in an unexpected yet absolutely delicious way.
My latest try: sauté onions and celery, add red beans, walnuts and cilantro stems cut thinly, cover and stew until tender. Before serving add pomegranate, celery sliced thin (for crunch and freshness), lots of cilantro.

nostr:npub1u0rdjg6ckay8y94pkj884uhmeal89v2l0cw9dpauw2dsp0c2a5tsns92zh lubia (farsi: لوبیا and Georgian: ლობიო - both pronounced as Lubia or Lubiya) just translates to beans. There are many similar varieties of this dish across the region.
This Moroccan version looks quite similar to the one pictured and you may want to try it out :)
There are also similar dishes in Mexican (maybe spanish too?) cuisine if you want more of a spicy kick called 'Chili' or 'Chili con carne' for the meat variant.
Bon appétit!
