Continuing the theme of posting bean-based food thoughts here: My current obsession is kidney bean  salads. I've been mixing a tin of beans with various stuff, and serving with fish.

A whole grilled trout worked nicely with beans plus parsley, spring onions, and touch of green chilli.

Seared tuna called for more bite. I added two red chillies to the beans, and offset the heat with a pile of mint leaves, complemented with a touch of strong white onion that we happened to have in the flat.

In both cases I added a little olive oil, some sharp white wine vinegar and pepper. I'm guessing that beans soaked from dry would be better, but that would require foresight, and I've been far too relaxed for that recently.
