Isn’t this a happy looking bunch of beans? The sheer sight of them filled me with joy. I wanted to do them justice and prepare a happy meal with them. That greatly succeeded!<\/p>\n
I started by soaking these beans for 8 hours and then cooked them for a bit more than an hour.<\/p>\n
In that hour I peeled a pomelo. For those of you who never heard of a pomelo, it is like a giant grapefruit, but less bitter and the flesh is more firm. It is not for everyone but I am crazy about them!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I cooked the black rice for 30 minutes or so and added only a tsp of vegetable stock powder (unsalted).<\/p>\n
Now the dressing is the finishing touch for this dish!<\/p>\n
I fried a chopped shallot in a saucepan, added a large chili-pepper (cut in small rings and deseeded), a cube of palmsugar (chopped into small pieces), tsp of cumin- powder, fresh juice of one lime, tbsp of fresh coriander leaves (chopped), pinch of sea salt and a tbsp of grated unsweetened coconut and enough water to dissolve the palm sugar. You can add water until you have reached the perfect thickness for the dressing.<\/p>\n
Then spoon the beans and the rice in a dish (or plate), top it with the pomelo and add a large spoon of the dressing. The spicy tropical dressing which has an eastern touch meets perfect with the Mexican feel of the beans. Add some fresh coriander leaves for garnish.<\/p>\n
