Ingredients

2 1/2 cups dried pinto beans
4 1/2 cups water
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
4 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Soak the beans in water overnight or place in a saucepan, bring to a boil and cook two minutes. Then allow to soak for one hour.
Bring to a simmer and cook, partly covered, until tender, about 40 minutes. Drain.
Transfer beans to a bowl and gently mix with garlic, parsley, one-fourth cup of the oil, salt and pepper. Allow to cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Just before serving, check seasonings and drizzle on remaining olive oil.
