Coconut Black Beans

[Chrystyne]

Great recipe..I loved the avacodo and mango...would have never thought to combine the two with black beans! I love new and different foods, so this recipe was perfect!

so so so so so so so so good!  i made these exactly as the recipe goes and they were perfect!  i never thought they'd be good with avocado and mango at the same time, but they are perfect.  i also added a touch of shredded coconut on the top.  we had these on homemade pitas with a version of the morrocan soup that's on here somewhere and it was delightful!  had the leftovers for lunch and just ate the beans cold and they were great that way too.  yet another killer way to eat black beans that isn't just boring old mexican.  mmmmmm!

This is a pretty good base recipe, but needs some tweaking to be excellent. i think I achieved that. First off, I doubled the recipe. I used two 12oz cans of full-fat coconut milk, used one gigantic yellow onion,  doubled the cumin, added some coriander and thai red curry paste. I served it over brown jasmine rice with fried plantains and fresh cilantro and lime. It was a huge hit. Thank you for the idea!

Fresh cilantro goes really well with this dish; I think it is a must-add ingredient.

I had fun arranging the mango and avocado on top of the coconut beans to make everything look nice.  A dish to serve when entertaining -- it is just so pretty!
