PINTO BEAN SALAD WITH ROASTED PEPPERS AND PASTA SHELLS



Pinto Bean Salad with Roasted Peppers and Pasta Shells image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup dried Pinto beans, washed and picked over
1 1/2 cups very small pasta shells
Olive oil
2 Poblano chiles, roasted, peeled, seeded and diced
2 red peppers, roasted, peeled, seeded and diced
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 bunch oregano leaves, washed and chopped roughly
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Place the beans in a large pot and cover generously with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook, covered, until the beans are creamy inside, but not mushy, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Drain beans and transfer to a large bowl to cool. Cook shells in rapidly boiling salted water. When done, drain in a colander, then spread shells on a cookie sheet to allow steam to escape. Drizzle with a tiny bit of olive oil. When cool, combine pasta with the pinto beans. Add peppers. In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Drizzle dressing over salad and toss gently to combine.
  • To roast chiles and peppers: Place over a gas flame or on a tray under a broiler. Keep turning so that the skin is evenly charred, without burning and drying out the flesh. Transfer charred peppers to a plastic or paper bag, tie the top closed and allow to steam until cool to the touch, about fifteen minutes. (To speed things up, place bag in a bowl of ice water.) Peel the peppers by hand, then dip the them briefly in water to remove any blackened bits.

GREEN BEAN SALAD WITH HOT MUSTARD DRESSING



Green Bean Salad With Hot Mustard Dressing image

Hot mustard powder brings a sharp, spicy twist to traditional mustard vinaigrette, which complements sweet green beans well. The beans are blanched until crisp-tender, then tossed in the vinaigrette while still hot. As the beans cool, they absorb all the flavors of mild shallot, fragrant garlic, tangy rice vinegar and hot mustard. Rich, roasted pecans add nutty sweetness to balance the spicy dressing. Though the salad can be made a few hours ahead, you'll want to top it with the nuts right before serving to preserve their crunch. The beans themselves can be served at room temperature or chilled.

Time 20m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons Asian hot mustard powder (or Colman's dry mustard powder)
1/4 cup neutral oil, such as safflower or canola
1/4 cup minced shallot
2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon minced peeled ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions (from 2 scallions)
2 pounds green beans, trimmed
1/4 cup chopped roasted pecans

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • In a large bowl, combine mustard powder and 2 tablespoons of very hot water; mix well. Let stand for 5 minutes to bloom. Add oil, shallot, rice vinegar, ginger, sugar and garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Whisk until smooth, then stir in scallions.
  • Once the water is boiling, add the green beans and blanch them until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Drain and transfer to the large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, and toss until evenly coated in the dressing. Let cool, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.
  • Transfer beans to a serving bowl or platter. Serve at room temperature or chilled, and top with the pecans.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe tomatoes and corn. If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but be sure to drain it well before adding it to the salad.
  • If you don't have a blender, you can mash the avocado with a fork. However, a blender will give you a smoother dressing.
  • If you like a spicy dressing, you can add more chili powder or cayenne pepper to taste.
  • This salad is best served fresh, but it will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

This pinto bean salad with spiced molasses dressing is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is packed with protein, fiber, and vitamins, and the dressing adds a unique and flavorful twist. Whether you are looking for a new salad to try or a way to use up leftover pinto beans, this recipe is sure to please.
