This recipe is from Wikipedia with some very minor changes. At the bottom of the page it says it's a New Guinean recipe. If you don't use kosher salt, I'd suggest about half the amount of table salt. Makes 4 generous servings or 6 as a side dish. Ingredients:
1 1/4 lbs fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 2 inch piece |
16 ounces canned chick-peas, drained and rinsed |
1/3 cup diced onion |
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar |
1/2 teaspoon dried basil |
1/2 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper |
1 large garlic clove, minced |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 teaspoon kosher salt |
Directions:
1. Steam the beans about 5 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.
2. Combine chickpeas, beans and onion in a large bowl.
3. Combine the rest of the ingredients in a small bowl for the dressing and add it to the bean mixture. Toss well.
4. Serve warm but not hot.
