Red Beans With Herb Dressing
(Lobio)
|
|
|
| What You Need: |
|
|
|
½ cup dried red kidney beans, or substitute 1 cup canned red kidney beans
1½ teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons finely chopped onions
¼ cup finely chopped parsley
¼ cup finely chopped fresh coriander
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. If you are using the dried kidney beans, bring 4 cups of water and 1 tea-spoon of the salt to a boil in a heavy 2-to 3-quart saucepan. Drop in the kidney beans and boil 2 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat and let the beans soak uncovered for 1 hour.
|
2. Bring back to a boil, lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 1 hour, or until the beans are tender but still intact. Drain in a sieve or colander and pat dry with paper towels. Canned beans need only be drained, washed under cold running water and patted dry.
|
3. In a large bowl combine the vinegar, chopped onions, parsley, coriander, ½ teaspoon of salt, a generous grinding of black pepper and the oil. Mix thoroughly.
|
4. Add the kidney beans, toss together gently but thoroughly with a fork and taste for seasoning. The beans may be served at once, but the flavor will be improved if they rest at room temperature for about 1 hour, stir-ring them from time to time.
