Black Beans in Mango Sauce




Source of Recipe


Beano


List of Ingredients




1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
2 cups minced red onions
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1, 3” jalapeno chile pepper, seeded and minced
1 ½ tablespoons minced fresh ginger
1 ½ teaspoons cumin seeds
1 ½ teaspoons salt
6 cups cooked black beans (3, 15-ounce cans, rinsed and drained)
6 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 large ripe mangoes, minced
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Minced fresh cilantro (optional)
Squeezable wedges of lime


Recipe



1.Heat the oil in a medium-size skillet. Add about 1 3/4 cups of the onion, garlic, chile pepper, ginger, cumin seeds and salt. Sauté over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.

2. Turn the heat down to medium-low; add the beans and about half the lime juice. Sauté for 5 to 10 minutes, or until everything has mingled nicely and the beans are heated through. Mash the beans slightly with the back of a spoon and transfer to a bowl.

3. Stir the remaining lime juice and about two-thirds of the chopped mangoes directly into the hot beans, mashing the mangoes a little as you stir. Grind in some black pepper, then cover and let stand for about 15 minutes to let the sauce develop.

4. Serve warm, at room temperature – or even cold – topped with the remaining red onion, mango and some minced cilantro, if desired. For a finishing touch, tuck a juicy wedge of lime on the side of each serving.

Yield: About 6 servings, depending on what else is served
