Harira is just about the ultimate filling soup, and is my dinner for the next few days. I’m also a big fan of butter beans cooked with garlic and cumin until soft, then merged with a tomato and crisped-up chorizo sauce. Mmm, mushy goodness with spicy crispiness. This works with chickpeas as well. ---

Maybe your son would like this salsa? I serve it with scoop tortilla chips. It’s quickly eaten up at my house and at pot lucks. (though more of a summer dish) **Corn & Bean Salsa** In a large bowl, mix together: 1 can pinto beans (drained and rinsed) 1 can black eyed peas or black beans (drained and rinsed) 1 can whole white corn (drained and rinsed) 1 small jar pimentos (drained) 1 cup finely chopped celery 1 small finely chopped onion or 2 sliced green onions 1 cup finely chopped green pepper In a small saucepan, mix together: ¼ cup canola oil ½ cup sugar ¼ cup cider vinegar 1 tbsp water 1 tsp salt ¼ tsp pepper Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Let cool. Mix with beans/veggies mixture. Chill a couple hours before serving. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/beans-beans-good-for-your-heart/638745.md?page=3)
