How to Turn a Can of Beans Into a Fancy Party Snack

如何將平凡無奇的豆子罐頭變成好吃到哭的聚會小零食

Canned beans are rarely thought of as luxurious. Economical? Sure. Convenient? Absolutely. But they're not exactly the kind of thing that pops in your head when you're planning a fancy holiday soirée. They should be though, particularly if that party is this evening, and you forgot you were supposed to make something...

很少有人認爲豆子罐頭是奢侈品。很便宜？當然了。方便食用？必須的。但籌備假日聚會時，你可能並不會想到豆子罐頭。如果聚會是在晚上舉行而你卻忘了準備小零食，一定要考慮豆子罐頭哦……

You're just doing a quick marinade, so you don't exactly need a recipe, but you want a good balance of flavors. First, choose your beans. Two cans should be enough. You can do all one bean, or you can do a mixture. White beans, black eyed peas, and garbanzo beans all work well. Drain and rinse your beans, and let them dry in a colander while you assemble the dressing.

你只需要快速淹泡罐頭，無需菜譜，但一定要把控好味道。首先，你得選擇豆子，兩罐就夠了。你可以一種罐頭做一道點心，也可以將兩種罐頭混在一起。白豆、黑眼豆和鷹嘴豆都是不錯的選擇。倒掉罐頭中的水，將豆子洗淨放入漏勺晾乾，然後準備調味料。

You can't go wrong with a nice olive oil, but walnut oil and pistachio oil are fun too. You can even combine oils—a splash of sesame oil can add some nice depth—just aim for 1/3 of a cup total. Next, add some alliums to your oil. A diced shallot and two or three cloves of minced garlic work well, but this is also a good opportunity to use up any green onions that are languishing in your fridge (especially the white parts). If you've got any olives, bell peppers, or cooked mushrooms, go ahead and chop those up and toss 'em in.

選擇優質橄欖油絕不會錯，但核桃油和開心果油也是不錯的選擇。更甚者，你可以將這些油混合在一起——撒點麻油會讓這道點心更香濃——三分之一杯就夠了。此外，在油裏放點香蔥吧。蔥花和兩三瓣蒜也是很好的調味品。冰箱裏的青蔥是不是放了很久？切一點放進去調味吧（尤其是白色部分）。如果家裏有橄欖、甜椒或煮熟的蘑菇，記得將它們切碎放入這道點心。

Add your alliums and any other aromatics you desire to the oil, and season with at least a 1/4 teaspoon of salt, maybe more depending on whether or not your beans came salted in the can. Splash in a couple of tablespoons of some sort of acid (either vinegar or citrus juice) and grate in some citrus zest if you like (about half a lemon's worth will do, but you could up it to a whole if you really like lemon). You can also add some chili flakes to taste if you like spicy beans. Let that all infuse for about five minutes, then combine with beans. Mix in half a cup of your favorite fresh herbs, and serve.

在油中放入香蔥和其它香料爆香，而後至少放入四分之一勺食鹽調味，或根據豆子罐頭的鹹淡適當加入食鹽。根據個人偏好倒入幾勺酸性調味品（醋或柑桔汁），再放一些切碎的柑桔皮（半個檸檬就夠了，但如果你非常喜歡檸檬，放一整個也無所謂）。如果你喜歡吃辣，也可以放一些辣椒粉調味。將所有配菜靜置5分鐘，而後與豆子混在一起攪拌。最後倒入半杯你最愛的新鮮香草，豆子點心就做好啦。
