Hungarian Sweet and Sour Butter Beans

Recipe #119768 | 1½ hours | 25 min prep | SERVES 12 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Mercy

To save time, canned butter beans (about 4 15-ounce cans?) may be used. Don't drain the beans and then add enough water to account for the missing cooking liquid.

Ingredients

  • lb butter beans, soaked overnight
  • salt
  • tablespoons oil or butter
  • tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • tablespoons vinegar
  • tablespoons sugar
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Cook the butter beans in boiling water (enough lightly salted water to cover) until done.
    2. 2
      In a saucepan, gently heat the 3 tablespoons oil or butter, once it is bubbling, add the flour and stir to make a paste or roux.
    3. 3
      Stir over the heat until the roux changes color to beige.
    4. 4
      Add the beans together with their cooking water, stirring constantly, to make a thickish sauce (add more water if necessary).
    5. 5
      Add the vinegar and sugar and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
    6. 6
      Taste and adjust flavor, if necessary, by adding more vinegar or sugar.
    7. 7
      Continue cooking, stirring, for a few more minutes.
