BLACK BEAN AVOCADO SALSA

Black Bean Avocado Salsa image

This has to be my favorite summer salsa. It's colorful and fresh tasting. It makes a bunch, so invite some friends over. I like to take the lime after it's been juiced and rub down the bowl I will be serving the salsa in. I also rub the lime on the plastic wrap this will help keep the avocados from turning brown. Don't forget the tortilla chips!

BLACK BEAN-CHORIZO STEW

Black Bean-Chorizo Stew image

This chili-like stew relies on spicy, fresh green chorizo for its bright, zesty flavor. It only takes half an hour to make your own green chorizo, but you can substitute any kind of fresh (uncured) store-bought sausage, as long as it's got a kick. Then add some chopped garlic, along with minced parsley and roasted poblano pepper for the green factor. Serve it over rice, or with corn or flour tortillas on the side. Here are several other dishes you can make with chorizo.

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large white onion, diced
1/2 batch (12 ounces) homemade green chorizo (see recipe), or use another spicy fresh sausage
1/4 cup chopped cilantro stems, leaves reserved for serving
7 cups cooked black beans (from 4 cans or 1 pound dried beans), drained
1 (28-ounce) can diced plum tomatoes with their juices
2 teaspoons kosher salt, more as needed
Diced avocado, for serving
Sliced scallion, for serving
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

Heat oil over medium heat in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottom pot. Add onion and cook until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in chorizo and cilantro stems and cook 5 minutes over high heat, or until much of the liquid has evaporated.
Stir in beans, tomatoes and their liquid, and 1 cup water. Bring mixture to a boil over high heat; reduce to medium.
Partly cover pot and simmer until tomatoes have fallen apart, about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. Season with salt. Serve topped with avocado, scallion, cilantro leaves and lime wedges.
