Piyaz

Submitted by St. Louie Suzie

"This is an appetizer on the menu of a restaurant here in St. Louis called Aya Sofia. It's a cold bean salad, a traditional mediterranean dish. I loved it so much that I re-created it at home. The measurements are approximate, so adjust to your own taste. Time includes refrigeration."

I have had the piyaz at Aya Sofia and this recipe duplicates it perfectly. Wonderful! Thanks for sharing. (I was able to find sumac at Williams Sonoma, but before I found it I found lemon zest was a reasonable substitute.)
