Recipe For Lobio

[eleep]

I could pretty much eat this stuff for days on end right out of the bowl:

Lobio (from one of the Moosewood cookbooks)

3 cups cooked red kidney beans (two 14-oz cans)

1 cup minced red onions

3 large garlic cloves, minced or pressed

3 TBL red wine vinegar

2 TBL olive oil

3/4 cup chopped, toasted walnuts

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

1 tsp ground coriander

salt and ground black pepper to taste

Garnish ideas:

romaine or leaf lettuce

fresh cilantro or parsley sprigs

sliced radishes

tomato slices

If using dried kidney beans, sort and rinse them, cover with a generous amount of cold water, and let them soak for several hours or overnight. Discard the soaking water and simmer the bens in 2 quarts of fresh water until just tender, about 1 hour.

Drain the cooked beans and place them in a bowl (if using canned beans, rinse and then drain them). Toss with the onions garlic, vinegar, olive oil, walnuts, cilantro, parsley, and coriander. Add salt and pepper to taste. Let the Lobio sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Serve on a bed of greens, garnished with cilantro or parsley sprigs, sliced radishes, and tomato slices.

I left out the part about the toasted pita bread wedges for obvious reasons
