Black Bean Salad



This absolutely delicious recipe comes from a good friend of ours and continues the Latin Amercan theme. Our friend lived in Chile for a number of years and this receipe comes to you, dear gentle readers, from her via there.

This is a great side dish to serve at a BBQ.

You will need:

½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon of orange zest
1 teaspoon of lime zest
60ml fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
½ teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
A splash or two of tabasco sauce
350g black beans, soak overnight, rinse, cook and drained, you can also use chickpeas or any type of bean
1 red bell pepper, finely diced
Big handful of fresh coriander sprigs, washed well, spun dry, and finely chopped
Big handful of parsley, finely chopped
300g of corn, ideally roasted on the bbq and kernals removed from cob

And then the hard part

Put all of the ingredients together in a bowl, toss well and leave in the fridge to rest and cool before serving.

This would also go well with the Jerk Chicken, methinks.

So good to see you back here posting!

BTW- HMHB - if you ever need pimento, I'm your go-to girl in Barcelona. The hardest thing would be having to choose which type/brand from the long supermarket shelf full of them!

We're in Barcelona for at least a year. We chose it because of the weather, the food, the culture - and the fun we have spotting the pickpockets!

Now we have to learn the language, but so far, so good!
