Steps:
- Soak beans in a pot of water for 8 hours to overnight. Bring to a boil; cook on medium heat until soft, about 1 hour. Divide beans between 3 bowls; mix in tomatoes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place onions on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
- Place 2 tablespoons of cooked beans in a bowl and crush into a pulp. Mix in oil, vinegar, tahini, garlic, salt, and pepper. Pour dressing over the beans and tomatoes. Mix well. Decorate with eggs and a pile of parsley on top. Serve piyaz at room temperature with lemon slices and baked onion, or place a bite of piyaz into a sweet onion 'boat' to bring out the flavor. Squeeze lemon juice on top.

Tips:
- Choose the right beans: For piyaz, it's best to use dried beans that have been soaked overnight. This will help them cook more evenly and give them a creamier texture.
- Cook the beans properly: Beans should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked beans will become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your piyaz a brighter flavor and more vibrant color.
- Don't skimp on the dressing: The dressing is what brings all the flavors of piyaz together. Make sure to use a good quality olive oil and vinegar, and season it to taste with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
- Let the piyaz chill: Piyaz is best served chilled, so make it ahead of time and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.
Conclusion:
Piyaz is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for summer gatherings. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of beans, vegetables, and dressing, piyaz is a healthy and satisfying meal that is sure to please everyone at your table.
