Have these measured and ready before you begin.
- 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon (200 ml by volume) dried white beans
- 2 medium red onions
- 1 cup loosely packed flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 1/4 lemon
- 3 tablespoons vinegar
- 1 teaspoon fine salt, plus more to taste
- 2 teaspoons ground sumac (a tart red Middle Eastern spice; add extra lemon zest if unavailable)
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 hard-boiled egg
Directions
1. Soak the dried beans in water overnight; skip soaking and boiling if using already-cooked beans.
2. Drain and rinse the soaked beans, place them in a pot, and cover with water by about 2 inches. Simmer for 35–40 minutes, checking often, until tender but not falling apart.
3. Drain the beans, cool them, and place them in a deep serving bowl with the parsley leaves.
4. Slice the red onions into thin half-moons and add them to the bowl.
5. Squeeze in the lemon juice, then add the vinegar, salt, sumac, black pepper, and olive oil; toss well.
6. Top with the hard-boiled egg and serve cool or warm.
