The beans in pinzimonio are a light, fresh, and tasty bean salad.
Perfect for consuming legumes in summer but not only.
The pinzimonio is a sauce made of oil, salt, and pepper usually used as a dressing for raw vegetables.
• As for the beans, I prepare several portions to have a small and practical stock in the freezer:
– cooking fresh beans in a pressure cooker;
– cooking black-eyed peas in a pressure cooker.
Doing so, just defrost them in time, and in a few minutes, the salad will be ready avoiding using canned legumes.
Otherwise, remember that dried legumes need soaking [12-24 hours].
If you have doubts about the quantities to prepare, I have noted the weight changes of legumes from raw to cooked: beans weight raw and cooked.
Regarding the preparation time, consider:
• 30 minutes for cooking beans in a pressure cooker;
• a few minutes for preparing the pinzimonio.
If you use ready-made beans, consider only the preparation time of the pinzimonio.
For my pinzimonio, I used borlotti beans.

Enjoy your meal!
You can store them in the fridge, making sure to take them out half an hour before consuming so they become tender and light again.
Pairing with pasta, rice, or other cereals allows you to better absorb the proteins of legumes.
The cereals added to these dishes, in fact, compensate for the amino acids lacking in legumes, allowing for a complete amino acid pool.
Choose preferably whole grains.
