Healthy and addictive



Ingredients

  • 300gr. Legumes or any legume (we used beans, lentils, red, black)
  • 2 bay leaves
  • ½ cup of florinis red pepper pickle
  • ½ cup of parsley
  • 2 small spring onions
  • 1 tbsp. chives
  • 1 tbsp. mint
  • 1 tbsp. fresh oregano
  • ½ teaspoon cardamon
  • Juice of one orange
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • ½ cup of olive oil
  • salt & pepper

Method

Put the legumes in the pot with water to cover them by 5 cm, boil for 4-5 minutes and discard the first water and add fresh water again.
Lower the heat, add the bay leaves and simmer for about 1 to 1.5 hours.
When the legumes are ready, remove, allow to cool and drain.
Transfer the boiled mixed legumes to a large bowl and add our juices.
Cut the spring onion and the florin pepper into small pieces and finely chop all the herbs and throw them in the bowl with the legumes.
Mix the salad well and add the olive oil, salt and pepper.
