Embarrassing salad

Discard the cooking liquid from the broad white beans and place the beans in a bowl. Sprinkle the garlic over them, along with the chili flakes. Mix with the vinegar and add the oil. Let them infuse. If the beans taste too bland, add a little salt. This is usually not necessary, however, as the cooking liquid in the jar is also salted. I call this very simple bean salad “embarrassment salad” because I was recently magically drawn to a jar of beans like this and they didn’t taste particularly exciting on their own. Now I really like them this way.
