As you will see (or not see), there is not a picture of this dish. I recently moved (again) and have yet to unpack the camera and take pictures of food. I have been cooking, but haven't photographed anything. However, this black bean dish was so great I figured I could get away without a picture. Also, I seemed to have misplaced some focus in the move. The dish calls for red and green peppers. When I plan out my menus for the week, I make my grocery list. How I missed red and green peppers, I don't know. I used celery to give the dish some crunch and it did a great job.
With the new move, comes new restaurants. There is a tapas place within walking distance that I can not wait to check out. I reviewed the menu today and it looks fabulous. They also seem to have a great wine list. Review to follow after I check it out.
