Salad (see food pics thread) with crusty Italian bread, white wine...
when I saw your pic, it looked so good that I made that very same thing for myself . I added tomatoes, 'shrooms and a bit of chopped cabbage. I warmed the olive oil/vinegar dressing I used. Didn't have Italian bread, so I sufficed with toasted English muffin. Had the white wine, too - thank you for the idea! I also took a pic, but it looks way too much like your pic, and I didn't want to seem like I was recipe-stalking you
Tonight, I had 'manitaropita' from Trader Joe's (phyllo pastry filled with mushrooms in a white wine sauce) and salad. Not in the mood to cook, so I went that route!
katz, how did your dish w/black beans & carmelized onion go? Good enough to post the recipe (if you'd be so kind)?????
I tried cooking some new (old) pinto beans, around here they are called boletas, and they are really very good. They are derived from Aztec or Anasazi beans and grown here in Colorado. They have a richer flavor that holds up well to spices, and are sort of a cross between pinto and red or kidney beans.

That sounds interesting- I'm in the Denver area too, where can I get some? And do you have a recipe that I can try?
Here is the recipe for the black beans/ pineapple
It turned out good, I will make it again soon.
2 cups each of fresh pineapple chunks and chopped onion
2 tablespoons oil
1 teaspoon sugar
Beans:
1 cup dry black beans, soaked overnight
1 1/4 cups of orange juice
3/4 cup liquid vegetarian broth
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/8 teasp. ground cinnamon
Optional
1/4 of a habanero hot pepper
Last minute add ins
3/4 teaspoon of salt (or less)
1 Tablespoon fresh orange juice
zest of one small organic lemon, minced or chopped ( I acutally used fresh squeezed lemon juice, because i couldn't find my zester)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place pineapple, onions and oil and sugar in a baking pan. Mix all ingredients well and bake at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours. When the pineapple and onions are golden brown and caramelized, remove from oven.
White the mix is in the oven, start cooking the black beans with the broth, juice, bay leaves, thyme and cinnamon. YOu can use a pressure cooker or a regular pot with a tight fitting lid. In a pressure cooker it will take about 20 minutes, in a regular pot, at least 40 minutes, depending on how soft you like your beans. I cooked mine for 1 1/2 hours.
Discard bay leaves and excess liquid (if there is any). Mix beans with pineapple/onions. Toss in salt, oj and lemon zest and serve. I made it with brown rice.
Very yummy!!!
The recipe is from the Radiant Health - Inner wealth cookbook by Q. Challis.
