NORTH CROATIAN FRENCH BEANS STEW ("CUSPAJZ OD MAHUNA")
This is my grandmother's recipe. You can use round or flat French beans (I prefer round and green). We eat this meal as a side dish to meat with potato. You can, of course eat this as a complete dish as lunch. If you want to preserve green color of your vegetables, put them into boiled water. I recommend using fresh vegetable, not canned or frozen - it is much, much better.

NORTH CROATIAN SIMPLE BEANS SALAD
It is very simple recipe. You may keep the salad up to 3 days in hermetically closed pot in refrigerator (The second day is the best). You can use almost all kinds of beans, even Italian brown lentils. I did not include soaking time in this recipe. We use pumpkin oil for this recipe, but since it has strong and peculiar taste it may be strange for non-Croatians. You may use normal oil, but not olive oil.
