What it is

Ready-to-eat white beans cooked through with sautéed carrot and onion in a tomato-and-herb sauce. The recipe is the kind of straightforward Ukrainian-Soviet preserve that quietly held countless pantries together: vegetable, protein, sauce — all in one jar.

Made by the Nizhyn Cannery in northern Ukraine, on the line they have been running since 1927. Naturally vegan, gluten-free and surprisingly filling — particularly useful when you want a meal in two minutes.

How to enjoy

Open the jar and eat cold with rye bread, warm gently in a pan as a side dish for grilled meat or sausage, or tip into stock with a bay leaf and a spoon of paprika to make a quick fasoleva bean soup. Stir into rice, fold into omelettes, or pile onto toast — it goes with most things.

Composition

Blanched white beans (36%), drinking water, fresh carrot (18%), tomato paste (8.7%), fresh onion (8.2%), refined deodorised sunflower oil, sugar, salt, fresh herbs.
