7. ORIENTAL BOILED BEANS.
FASSOULIA PIAZ.
Ingredients:
Dry Beans ...................... 2 cupfuls.
Olive Oil ............... 2 tablespoonfuls.
Lemon .................................. 1.
Salt and pepper, to taste.
The Piaz:
Dry Onion ...................... 1, medium.
Parsley .......................... 1 bunch.
Method:
Soak the beans in water for 10 to 12 hours, and after the first boil strain.
Then boil again in plain water, seasoning with salt and pepper before well
cooked.
Serve this with the following mixture of dry onion (also green onions in season)
and parsley, which is called Piaz.
Cut very finely the onion and crush it well with salt and wash. (This method
helps to take out the rancidness of the onion.) Then mix with it the parsley,
which must also be very finely cut.
This Piaz should be sifted on the beans when served, adding then also the olive
oil and the lemon, the quantities of which should be determined according to the
taste of each person. Black olives are usually served with this dish.
