About Fasole bătută
Fasole bătută is a smooth bean preparation with a generous onion topping. Elena Butuc presents it as a familiar classic for Lent and recommends small white beans for their flavour and consistency.
Garlic seasons the bean purée, while browned onion and tomato paste give the topping a sweet, savoury character. Bay leaf belongs to the bean preparation, and black pepper is optional.
The bean purée forms a shallow layer beneath the onions. This version can be served cold, with sauerkraut salad suggested alongside.
