Marinated Beans Recipes

MARINATED WHITE BEANS

Steps:

• Combine the garlic and olive oil in a small skillet and set over low heat. Cook until the garlic begins to slowly sizzle, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes (don't let the garlic brown as it will become bitter). Increase the heat to medium and add the capers, lemon zest, rosemary, red pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir to combine and return to a sizzle. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice.
• Combine the beans, tomato and parsley in a medium serving bowl. Drizzle the warm garlic oil over and toss well. Season with salt as desired.

MARINATED GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Fill a pot large enough to hold the green beans with water, place over high heat, and bring to a boil.
• While the water is heating, snap off the ends of the beans and rinse them in cold water. When the water comes to a boil, salt it generously (about 1 teaspoon per quart of water) and put in the beans. Cook until they are tender all the way through but not mushy, 8 to 10 minutes.
• While the beans are cooking, sliver the olives by slicing the flesh away from the pits. Lightly crush and peel the garlic cloves, shred the basil, and coarsely chop the oregano. Put the olives, garlic, basil, oregano, and capers in the salad bowl you will be using.
• When the beans are cooked, drain them well and add them to the salad bowl. Add the vinegar and toss. Add the olive oil, toss again, and taste for salt. Let stand at room temperature for about 3 hours and remove the garlic cloves before serving.

MARINATED BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare a large bowl of ice water. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and add to the ice water to stop the cooking. Drain and pat very dry. Add to a serving bowl along with the cannellini beans, chickpeas, tomatoes, sliced celery and leaves, red onion, peperoncini, olives and parsley.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, peperoncini brine, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Whisk in the olive oil to make a smooth dressing. Pour over the bean mixture and toss well. Season with salt if needed. This salad can be made a day ahead --- the green beans may discolor a bit because of the lemon juice but will taste even better with the longer marination time.
