1 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| ½ | cup | Dried black beans |
| ½ | cup | Dried red kidney or pinto beans |
| ½ | cup | Dried white beans (Great Northern or cannellini) |
| 1 | small | Red onion,; finely diced |
| 1 | bunch | Cilantro, leaves only,; roughly chopped |
| ½ | cup | Olive oil |
| ¾ | teaspoon | Salt |
| ½ | teaspoon | Freshly grounded black pepper |
| 3 | tablespoons | Juice from Pickled Chiplotes, or red wine vinegar |
| 1 | Pickled Chiplote Chile, seeded if desired and minced | |
Directions
Keeping them separate, wash and pick over all the beans. Place each kind in a separate pot, cover generously with water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, covered, until the beans are done in the center but not too soft, 1 to 1½ hours. Drain and rinse in a colander.
For added flavor, you can smoke the beans on a grill. Start a small fire off to one side and throw soaked wood chips on the coals when the fire is moderately hot. Lay out the beans on a baking pan, pour in water to a depth of ⅛ inch and cover with a wet towel. Place on the grate, cover and smoke 2 hours, adding more wood chips every 20 minutes or so. Set aside to cool and then drain.
Transfer the beans to a large mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Bean salsa can be refrigerated up to 2 days. Bring back to room temperature before serving.
To serve, line a platter or serving plates with salsa and top with grilled, broiled or sauteed fish fillets.
Yield: 3 cups
