Browsing through the Joy of Cooking, a recipe using black beans caught my eye. Now I'm not a big bean fan in general, but I really don't mind black beans, and this recipe had other nice things in it too, like orange juice and garlic. And so, after several hours of pot-watching, we now have several days' worth of "Wild Caribbean Black Bean Chili". I'm not really sure what they mean by the "wild" part of the name, but it certainly is good stuff. There's alot of lime and orange juice in the recipe, a reasonable amount of spice (although I erred on the side of caution there), onions, tomatoes, cumin - all sorts of things - and all the black beans, of course. With a dollop of sour cream and a few corn chips, it made for a very flavorful dinner.
