Marinated White Bean Salad Jars Recipe 475

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.

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil in a pot. Add green beans and cook until just crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and rinse immediately in cold water.
• Transfer green beans to a large bowl and stir in corn, black beans, tomatoes, celery, bell pepper, and onion.
• Mix apple cider vinegar, sugar, olive oil, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Pour over vegetables and stir to coat. Refrigerate, covered, for 4 hours, or up to overnight.

Steps:

• Shell the beans. (For dried beans, rinse them, place in saucepan, cover with water to 2 inches, and bring to boil. Remove from heat; allow beans to soak for 1 hour.)
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large, heavy pot. Add carrots, onions and garlic, and saute over medium-low heat, stirring, for about 5 minutes, until tender. Add fresh beans (or soaked and drained dried beans) and 8 cups water. Add tied herbs; bring to simmer.
• Partly cover pot, and simmer fresh beans about 30 minutes, until they are tender. (Dried beans should be simmered for about 1 1/2 hours, and any foam on the water's surface should be skimmed off.)
• When beans are nearly tender, about 10 minutes before end of cooking time, add salt to taste. When beans are tender (make sure they are not undercooked), drain them.
• Remove garlic and herbs, transfer beans to large bowl lined with paper towels and toss them lightly to dry them. Cover to keep them warm.
• Beat remaining olive oil and vinegars together in salad bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add warm beans and parsley. Fold all ingredients together, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve while still warm.

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.

Steps:

• Make the Marinated White Bean Salad: In small bowl, whisk together garlic, vinegar, thyme, lemon zest, mustard powder, salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes. While whisking, slowly drizzle in oil until all oil is incorporated. Add beans and toss to combine. Divide Marinated White Bean Salad equally among 4 pint-sized mason jars. Layer onion, tomatoes and arugula, ending with arugula. Top with lids and refrigerate up to 3 days. To serve, pour onto plate or bowl, stir and enjoy.
