Add a photoThis recipe is so fresh tasting with lime, cilantro & peppers! Makes a lot so it's great for potlucks. It takes a while to cook beans, but it's worth it (canned beans just won't do for this one!) Would be a great side dish for quesadillas or tacos. You could leave out the shrimp if you want for a vegetarian version.
Ingredientes
- 1 lb. Shrimp (med./small, not salad shrimp)
- 1 1/2 c. dry black beans
- 1/2 c. dry Qiunoa
- 2 or 3 jalapenos (green and red) seeded and chopped
- 4 scallions chopped
- 2 tomatoes (med. sized) seeded & chopped
- 1 c. cilantro chopped
- 3 cloves garlic chopped
- 1 tbs. cumin
- 1/2 tsp chili flakes
- 1 tsp. sugar
- 2 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. fresh ground pepper
- Juice of 2 1/2 limes (or less to taste)
- 1/2 tbs canola oil or vegetable oil
- hot sauce (optional)
Direcciones
- Soak beans for 2-4 hours, drain soaking water
- Simmer beans until tender (about 2 hours) in 3 c. water with 1 of the garlic cloves roughly chopped, cumin, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. You will want them to be a bit 'soupy' (like beans in a can), so add water if it begins to get too dry.
- Allow beans to cool until luke warm. Strain off most of the cooking liquid until you are left with just about 1/4 to 1/3 c.
- Cook quinoa (2:1 ratio) for 15 min covered on low heat. Allow to cool until luke warm.
- Mix jalapenos, scallions, tomatoes, sugar, and lime juice in a large bowl, then add quinoa and beans.
- In a medium skillet saute remaining garlic in 2 tsp. oil on med. heat, add shrimp when garlic is soft. Cook shrimp until they are no longer transparent.
- Add sauteed shrimp & garlic to mixture (be sure to get all the tasty oil into the mix, use a rubber scraper). Mix well.
- Add salt, pepper & hot sauce to taste. A good spicy habanero works really well.
