Reading your recipe for the brothy beans reminded me of my mother. She would always use the conserving liquid in canned veggies in her recipes calling it "Gemüse Wasser" aka vegetable water. To her--a child of World War II -- it was a valuable commodity. Growing up, I always thought it tasted gross. 🤣 I usually cook my beans in beer or chicken broth or both. But I want to thank you for poking me with a Mama reminder. She died last August at 94 years. I will make your recipe today --but will use chicken broth & beer 🤣. I never got over the canning taste of the Gemüse Wasser. On second thought...to be adventurous...I could use a white wine maybe? 🤔
I love this! Thanks so much for sharing this memory, Sabine. I like the sound of beans in white wine! I'll cheer to your mum next time I cook my beans in preserving water <3
