mmm.. that looks and sounds good!
want a quick and easy recipe with mango? this comes from my coworker.. i made it for dinner today and it's delicious!
mango, cilantro and black beans over quinoa:
-saute 1 medium onion, chopped
-add a can of rinsed and drained black beans and a bit of veg stock (should be slightly stewy but not too much liquid)
-toss in a bunch of chopped cilantro (i used about half a cup, but have used more in the past - i'd say do it to taste.. i like lots!)
-toss in a bit of chili of some sort (i used habanero chili sauce, but you can use cayenne pepper, fresh jalapenos (prob best bet), or whatever else to spice it up)
-toss in some cubed (or sliced however) fresh mango (make sure it's not too ripe, but firm yet sweet)
serve over quinoa with a squirt of fresh lime juice
oh, i used one mango. i also threw in some fake chicken i had leftover in the fridge.
I'll be the cachapas would be great with cachaca (Brazilian sugar cane alcohol). They look exotic and delicious.
hmm, you mean using cachaca as a kind of syrup? could be interesting. Cachapas are usually fried with cheese and/or ham on top, so sugar cane alcohol certainly sounds more appealing than that...
