Black Beans Habanero
Go to the drugstore and get some surgical gloves to use when you're
handling habaneros. You can get a big box of disposable gloves cheaply. I'm serious, now. Do it.
Ingredients:
- 4 leeks, white part only, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 cups cubed acorn or butternut squash
- 1 habanero, seeded, stem removed, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup dry sherry (use regular sherry -- not cooking sherry)
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 3 cups cooked black beans, drained
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoon red wine vinegar
- 1 cup pine nuts
Preparation:
- Sauté leeks, garlic, squash and habanero in oil for 5 minutes. Add sherry and chicken broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, about 30 minutes or until squash is tender.
- Add beans, thyme, cumin, black pepper and vinegar. Continue to simmer until beans are heated through.
- Stir in pine nuts and cook 1 minute longer.
