Preparation

Step 1

Rinse the soaked beans in a colander under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain.

Step 2

Transfer the beans to a large pot and add enough water to cover them by at least two inches. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to low, and simmer uncovered for 90-120 minutes, until the beans are fully tender. Use a slotted spoon to skim off any foam that rises to the surface while the beans cook. Drain the beans and allow them to cool until lukewarm.

Step 3

Transfer the beans to a large bowl. Add the onion, parsley, olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper, and toss. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed.

Step 4

Serve at room temperature. 

Step 5

Leftover fassolia piaz can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
