INSTRUCTIONS
DRIED BEANS
To prepare the salad
In a kettle combine the black beans with enough cold water to cover them by
2 inches, simmer them, covered, for 1 hour, or until they are tender, and
drain them well. While the beans are cooking, in a large saucepan combine
the barley with 4 cups boiling salted water and simmer it, covered, for 45
minutes, or until it is cooked but still al dente. Drain the barley in a
colander, rinse it, and drain it well. In a small bowl whisk together the
lemon juice, the mustard, and salt and pepper to taste, add the oil in a
stream, whisking, and whisk the dressing until it is emulsified. In a large
bowl combine the black beans, the barley, and the onion, add the dressing,
and toss the salad until it is combined well. The salad may be prepared up
to this point 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled. In a saucepan
of boiling salted water cook the green beans for 4 to 5 minutes, or until
they are just tender, refresh them under cold water, and drain them well.
Cut the beans crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces, add them to the salad with
pine nuts and salt and pepper to taste, and toss the salad until it is
combined well. Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature.
To quick soak dried beans
In a colander rinse the beans under cold water and discard any discolored
ones. In a kettle combine the beans with enough cold water to cover them by
2 inches, bring the water to a boil, and boil the beans for 2 minutes.
Remove the kettle from the heat and let the beans soak, covered, for 1
hour.
Serves 6 to 8.

A Message from our Provider:
“Let us thank God heartily as often as we pray that we have His Spirit in us to teach us to pray. Thanksgiving will draw our hearts out to God and keep us engaged with Him; it will take our attention from ourselves and give the Spirit room in our hearts. #Andrew Murray”
