Texas Caviar

Estimated Prep Time: 25 minutes
Estimated Cooking Time: 15 minutes

This is a great relish for the side of your plate. It tastes even better the next day.

1 15 oz / 425g tin of black beans, drained, should give you the amount you need.

Optional: toss in a tablespoon of chopped parsley or fresh coriander leaves for colour.


Ingredients

2 cups Black Beans (cooked, drained)
1 Onion (medium, chopped finely)
1 Red Bell Pepper (medium, chopped finely); 1 Red Bell Pepper (medium, chopped finely)
2 Jalapeno Peppers (chopped finely)
1/3 cup Red Wine Vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoon Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Cumin (ground)
1/2 teaspoon Ground Pepper
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice





Directions



Do all the vegetable preparation; set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, put the beans, onion, red pepper, jalapenos and garlic, and toss them together. Set aside.

Put the vinegar, sugar, cumin and ground black pepper in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring relatively frequently. When the sugar is dissolved and the liquid has reached the boiling point, add the black beans, bring back to a boil and let cook for 1 minute.

Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl. Stick in refrigerator for about an hour. Add the lemon juice, stir, then adjust taste with optional items such as a few dashes of salt, tabasco or other hot sauce, etc.

Serve chilled or room temperature.
