Bean salad

For this recipe we suggest you to buy the famous Lamon beans. This quality of bean is a typical product of the area of Belluno, (Veneto region, Italy), and belongs to the family of borlotto. It's a cream coloured bean with red flecks. In the area of Venice it's quite common to find farms selling this kind of beans, that are perfect for any type of dish, such as soups or meat dishes. In north Italy there's a proverb saying: where there are beans there's no hunger!

Soak the beans overnight. Boil them for 15 minutes x 3 times, changing the water each time. Add salt to the water only the last time. In the meanwhile, grind celery, pepper, carrot and onion. Rinse your beans and mix them with your minced vegetables. Season with salt, vinegar, pepper, coriander and oil. Mix well, keep for a while in the fridge, then serve.
