3-BEAN GOOD LUCK SALAD WITH CUMIN VINAIGRETTE

Combine the black and red beans, water, all but 1/2 onion, and 3 of the garlic cloves in a large, heavy pot and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer 1 hour. Add salt to taste (beans take a lot of salt) and continue to simmer for another 30 minutes, or until the beans are tender but intact. Remove and discard the onions. Set a strainer over a bowl and drain. Measure out 1/4 cup of the broth.
• Meanwhile in a separate pot combine the black-eyed peas, remaining 1/2 onion and garlic clove, the bay leaf and 3 cups water. Bring to a boil, add salt to taste, cover, reduce the heat and simmer 45 minutes, or until the beans are tender but intact. Remove and discard the bay leaf and onion. Set a strainer over a bowl and drain. Measure out 1/4 cup of the broth and add to the black and red bean broth.

• Stir the peppers and cilantro into the beans and serve.
