About

Serve this charcuterie salad with tart cornichons and whole-wheat bread or pumpernickel. A wonderful autumn or winter lunch, perfect on a picnic. A good dark beer would be especially appropriate here.

Ingredients

1 pound Great Northern or other dried white beans
Salt, to taste
1 to 2 cups

Method

Rinse and sort through the beans, discarding any pebbles, and soak them overnight in water that covers them by at least 3 inches.
Drain the beans and transfer them to a large heavy pot. Add cold water to cover the beans by at least 1 inch. Set over moderate heat. Bring to a boil, skimming any scum that may form, and cook the beans until tender, about 40 minutes
