Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 3-4 cups cooked beans
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 3-4 tablespoons minced red onion or shallot
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1½ teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. When starting from dry beans, use about ⅓ of the amount of cooked beans called for (so for this recipe, 1 to 1⅓ cups of dry beans). Rinse and pick through your dried beans, place into a large pot, then cover by about 2 inches of cold water. Soak overnight or for 24 hours. Alternately, you can also bring the beans to a boil for several minutes, then remove from heat and allow to soak, covered, in the warm water for 2-3 hours. Drain, rinse, and then refill the pot with cold water, covering again by about 2 inches (I like to add a few bay leaves). Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to a simmer. When beans start to become tender, add a large pinch of salt. Continue to cook until beans are soft, checking on them every 15-20 minutes, and making sure not to overcook.
  2. While cooking beans, combine remaining ingredients in small bowl and set aside. When beans are done cooking, drain them, transfer to a medium bowl, and add the other ingredients. Toss gently to combine. Season to taste.
