On a recent trip to Tbilisi, we ate at a restaurant near the cathedral town of Mtskheta called Sa Lobio. A local friend said they served "cowboy food," basically beans and cornbread. Does anyone have the cornbread recipe? It was round with a hole in the middle. This recipe calls for red beans. I bought some light beige with red at the Central Market in Tbilisi, which the lady said was used to make Lobio. I'm so excited to have real Georgian beans in my garden!
