Comments
•
 Instead of Mayo Coba Peruano beans, you may use your favorite dried beans, soaked at least overnight or, better, 24 hours, and boiled, as long as they remain whole and have a fleshy consistency and texture. If not soaked, dried beans may be cooked in a pressure cooker for 50-55 minutes. When soaked 24 hours, beans cook in just 15 minutes and more evenly.
•
 The EVOO may be flavored. In this case I used a regular EVOO and balsamic vinegar from Modena.
•
 Balsamic vinegar, freshly squeezed lemon, lime, or s 'Spike Original Magic' seasoning is made with all-natural ingredients and mixed with salt, does not contain additives or preservatives, and has zero calories per serving. A must in every kitchen, great for traveling, it may be used instead of regular salt to further flavor salads, soups, and any entree which require salt.">Spike Original Magic may be added to taste.
Wine and Beverage Pairing
•
 I enjoy it with an aromatic white wine such as Soave, Arneis, or Ansonica, Vermentino, or grassy red from Friuli, such as Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso, or Cabernet Franc.
