beans beans they make you... Oh we won't talk about that...
But I've been having fun with beans this week - -they taste good, are filling, and have oodles of fiber... Some of my creations this week...
Black Bean Salsa
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
2 tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1 clove garlic, minced
2 stalks celery, chopped
1/4 cup lime juice
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp black pepper
Let marinate in fridge about 2 -3 hours-- -serve...
Had them one night as a side dish with broiled chicken,, the next day as breakfast in a whole wheat tortilla.
Pinto Beans
1 can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
2 tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped
2 shallots, diced (a sweet onion would work well too I think, or a red onion)
1/2 an english cucumber, sliced lenghwise, then in half then sliced - so i have quarters of cucumbers about 1/4 of an inche thick
3 tbs lemon juice
Let marinate in fridge for a few hours - serve
This is a side dish for grilled halibut... and lunch leftover in a oatbran pita...
(i also figure this would be really good with some tuna fish thrown in as well)
