| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. If you plan to use canned cooked beans and chick peas, drain them of all their canning liquid, wash them thoroughly under cold running water, drain again and pat dry with paper towels.
|
2. If you plan to cook the beans yourself, follow the initial soaking directions for beans in the recipe for baked beans, and then cook them until tender.
|
3. One half cup of dry uncooked beans yields approximately 1¼ cups cooked. In a large bowl, combine the chick peas, red kidney beans and white kid- ney beans, the chopped onion or scallions, garlic, parsley and the chopped green pepper if you plan to use it.
|
|
4. Add the salt, a few grindings of pepper and the wine vinegar. Toss gently with a large spoon. Pour in the olive oil and toss again. This salad will be greatly improved if it is allowed to rest for at least an hour before serving it.
