parsley, and salt. Add fresh water to cover by 1-inch.

(Taste a few beans to be sure.) Discard the vegetables. Serve the beans
hot as a side dish or use them in salads, soups, or stews.

Makes 6 one-cup servings.

AuthorNote: Pale green flageolets are a favorite French bean variety, as
are small, round white beans and the large, flat Tarbais beans, but any
kind of beans, including Great Northern, cannellini, kidney, pea beans, or
chickpeas, can be cooked this way.

These beans are a good side dish sprinkled with freshly ground pepper and
drizzled with extra-virgin olive oil or tossed with some butter.
