New Recipe I'm Making Tonight

[K8-EEE]

I posted this on another forum, made a few changes but it's really good and I'm sure it will be better after it "marries" a few hours. You are supposed to chill it and then bring it back to room temp to serve.

BLACK BEAN CAVIAR

2 15-oz cans black beans, drained
1/2 cup roasted red pepper packed in oil, drained & chopped
1/2 cup minced purple onion
1/2 cup minced fresh cilantro
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons course-grained salt
2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 yellow or green pepper, seeded & finely chopped

I'm serving this with cuban crackers and with cream cheese & chopped hot peppers on the side, and pumpkin and peanut soup. This would be good to bring along to any carnivorous Thanksgiving as an appetizer.

Sure as hell beats real caviar...DISGUSTING!

Bon appetit! Love this forum although I must confess to being an occasional meat eater, I cook 90% veg-style!

1. This sounds great!!

we eat lots of beans!! (lots of mushrooms too,,,,,)


It made me feel better to read the last sentence in your posting,,,,
I cook vegetarian and tease my Husband that he is an 'accidental' vegetarian (because I do the shopping & cooking),,,,,
but when we go out to eat I sometimes eat meat then,,,,

2. sounds YUM - question though

How do you prepare it? I don't know anything about caviar, except it's fish roe.

Would it be like mixing everything except the black beans together in a sort of cheese ball, and putting the beans over the outside like the nuts in a cheese ball are? :shrug: - Thanks!

:hi:

3. EZ!

You just combine it is al, stir it together with a spoon. What it looks like is kind of a marinated bean salad; but you serve in more like an olive tapenade or caviar, on crackers. THIS WAS GOOD!
