Munggo (haricots mungo rouges) au sirop épais

The syrup-to-bean ratio is spot on, not cloying at all, and the beans themselves still have a nice little bite. I ate half the jar straight from the fridge over ice cream, it’s that good.

Took me straight back to my lola's kitchen, the beans are so tender they melt against the syrup's sweetness. A single spoonful over vanilla ice cream turned into a dessert that felt both nostalgic and indulgent.

The syrup-to-bean ratio is exactly what I hoped for—thick enough to coat each spoonful without being cloying. I heated a small bowl for about a minute and it tasted just like the merienda my grandmother used to make on rainy afternoons.
