Abkhazia: Walnut Lobio
"This recipe is from week one of my food blog, "Travel by Stove." I am cooking one meal from every country in the world, starting with Abkhazia.
This is an Abkhazian side dish, which is basically a bean mash flavored with cilantro and walnuts."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a mother of two with another one on the way! I am married to an Englishman and we own a small business in our local area. We live in a very small town called Rough and Ready (yes there really is a place called Rough and Ready!) I am a part-time writer and full time mom. My kids were born 15 months apart and keep me so busy I barely have enough time to cook and no time at all for my other passion, horseback riding. I once had four horses but am down to two; my Arab mare Argo and old Denver. Both of them spend the vast majority of their time standing around in my back yard eating hay. I get to feed them and look at them, but until my kids are all in school (and I stop having more kids) that's about it.
