Pickled Three Bean Salad Recipes

PICKLED THREE-BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• In a large pot bring 4 cups water and black-eyed peas to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 45 to 60 minutes or until tender. Drain; rinse with cold water and drain again.
• In the large pot bring 4 cups fresh water to boiling. Add green beans. Boil gently, uncovered, for 3 minutes. Drain; rinse with cold water and drain again.
• In the large pot stir together vinegar, sugar, 1 1/2 cups water, lemon juice, oil, and salt. Bring to boiling, stirring to dissolve sugar. Stir in black-eyed peas, green beans, edamame, sweet pepper, onion, and garlic. Return to boiling; remove from heat.
• Ladle solids into ten hot sterilized half-pint or five pint canning jars (see tips, page xx), leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Add hot liquid to jars, maintaining 1/2-inch headspace. Remove air bubbles. Wipe jar rims and adjust lids and screw bands.
• Process in a boiling-water canner for 15 minutes (start timing when water returns to boiling). Remove to wire racks to cool completely.

ASIAN THREE-BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and yellow wax beans and cook until crisp-tender, about 7 minutes, adding the edamame after 3 minutes. Drain the beans and edamame and run under cold water. Shake off the excess water and transfer to a large bowl.
• Meanwhile, toast the sesame seeds in a small dry skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Add the toasted sesame seeds, cilantro, scallions, vinaigrette, pickled ginger, jalapeno, ponzu sauce and sesame oil to the beans. Toss to combine; season with salt.
• Whisk 1/4 cup white wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper in a bowl. Slowly drizzle in 2/3 cup olive oil, whisking constantly, until thick and smooth. Add more salt and pepper to taste. (Makes about 1 cup.)

HERBY THREE-BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• In a dry medium saucepan (one large enough to hold the green beans in Step 4), toast coriander seeds over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant, 2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl to cool. Once the seeds are cool enough to handle, use a mortar and pestle to crack them, or place them on a cutting board and crack with the flat side of a chef's knife. Set aside.
• Fill the same saucepan you used for the coriander with salted water and bring to a boil.
• While waiting for the water to boil, combine 1/4 cup vinegar, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in large mixing bowl. Slowly whisk in olive oil. Add onion along with fennel or celery, or both, and toss. Set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes while preparing the rest of the salad.
• To the boiling water, add the green beans and blanch for 2 to 3 minutes, until they turn bright green and are crisp-tender. Immediately drain beans in a colander, then run cold tap water over them to stop the cooking. Once cool, pat them dry.
• Add the blanched green beans, chickpeas, cannellini beans, herbs and toasted coriander seeds to the marinated onions. Season with remaining salt and pepper, and gently toss to evenly combine. Taste and add more salt and vinegar if needed. (Keep in mind that you'll also be adding flaky salt to finish.) Drizzle with olive oil and flaky sea salt, and serve.
