It’s 365 Thursday! We realize that promising “magic beans” makes us sound like a recipe developer under a beanstalk—but seriously, microwaving your beans is a game-changer. As #MilkStreetCookingSchool director Rosie Gill explains, heating your beans causes them to swell, which allows them to absorb the flavors of your dressing, turning a can of beans into a vehicle for all of your fresh, bright liquids. In this Greek Bean Salad (Fasolia Piaz), our beans soak up a simple dressing of garlic, onion, olive oil, and vinegar. But we also use this technique in a multitude of cases—with spiced oil, a mix of shallots and vinegar, and lime juice, for instance. Find more ideas like this in our new book “Milk Street 365”—it’s a massive tome of over 600 recipes, all resulting from lessons we’ve learned from cooks around the world over the past eight years. It’s sort of like our own “Joy of Cooking.” Get the recipe for Greek Bean Salad (Fasolia Piaz), via the link in our profile → @177milkstreet #milkstreetrecipes #milkstreet365 #beans #beanrecipes #food #cooking #easyrecipes
