March 07, 2004 Fruity beans!26-1. I don't want to talk about it. These beans were the highlight of yesterday. Black beans with Portuguese sausage and tropical fruits. I've made lots of different kinds of pork'n'beans, and the easiest way to make them taste good is by adding lots of pork fat or spices. This variation on the theme doesn't heavily rely on either of those two crutches. These beans are mildly sweet and spicy at the same time, with fruit flavors shining through. It's pretty good, I'll probably make this again.
Fruity Black Beans
Serves 5-8
2 cans black beans
2 linguica sausages
1 medium red onion
1 banana
1 mango
1 red bell pepper
1 1/2 cups Tangerine juice (This is my preference, you could use other citrus juices)
Jerk seasoning
Hot sauce (I used Frank's Red Hot)
Thinly slice the sausages and fry in a big pot. Remove sausages and set aside, leaving the drippings on the heat.
Fry the red onion, minced in the sausage drippings. Since this is a lean sausage (kind of), there may not be enough fat, so feel free to add vegetable or corn oil as needed.
Once the onions have turned translucent, add the banana and mango, finely diced. Also add a few pinches of salt and a good amount of the premixed jerk seasonings.
Add about 1/2 cup of juice, lower the heat to medium-high and let the mixture simmer until the fruits are mushy and about half of the liquid is gone. While it's simmering, give it a good sniff. It smells delicious!
Drain the canned beans and add. Add the bell pepper, finely diced. Add hot sauce, to taste. Let simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the beans are semi soft.
Add the cooked sausage and the rest of the juice. Lower the heat to medium and let simmer until the beans start to become mushy. You'll lose some liquid, but that's okay.
Take off heat and let cool. The sauce should thicken up a bit. Serve and hope your basketball team doesn't lose.

When serotonin is released from the sending nerve cell, some of it is reabsorbed by an uptake pump.
