Ingredients
-
1 (19 ounce) can beans, mixed ("Bean Medley" mine had Chick Peas, red Kidney beans, Romano Beans, and Black Eyed Peas (drained and )
-
1 (19 ounce) can chickpeas (drained and gently rinsed)
-
1 (14 ounce) can wax beans, no salt (yellow)
-
1 (14 ounce) can green beans (drained reserving liquid)
-
1 1/2 cups celery, chopped
-
1 small red onion, halved, peeled, then thinly sliced (If I use a stronger onion I soak it in 2 tsp sugar and 3/4 cups cold water for 15 min then drain it )
-
1/4 cup pimento pepper
-
liquid from green beans
-
1/2 cup vegetable oil, of good quality (Olive Oil tastes funny in this recipe)
-
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
-
2/3 cup white sugar
-
1/4 cup rice vinegar, garlic flavor (or 1/4 rice vinegar and 1 clove garlic)
-
1 (19 ounce) can red kidney beans (drained and rinsed)
Instructions
- Place all beans, onion, celery and pimento in a large plastic container with a lid.
- Pour all liquids and sugar in a 2 quart jar with a lid.
- Shake until sugar is dissolved.
- Pour liquid over beans.
- Cover with lid and put in fridge to chill over night or for several hours, gently mixing occasionally.
- Serve with slotted spoon so as not to discard the brine unnecessarily if you plan to keep adding to the bean mixture.
