BLACK BEAN AND CORN SALSA

This is ready in record time; there is no need to thaw the corn or refrigerate the assembled salsa. It turned out to be a summery dish, but I was making black bean soup and I cooked more beans then intending to. So I thought why not make a salsa and combine the beans with some frozen corn. It is delicious, but the cumin and the Tabasco both add heat so handle them with care. I know people who would be just as happy to omit the cumin and the Tabasco. Then again others would chop an entire chili on the top.

BLACK BEAN AND CORN SALSA
1 can black beans [or 1/2 cup of soaked and cooked black beans]
2 cups frozen corn
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp Tabasco sauce [optional]
juice of 1/2 lime
4 ripe baby tomatoes, chopped
2 Tbsp olive oil
 
• Rinse the black bean under cold running water and drain.
• Place the drained beans in a medium sized salad bowl.
• Add the frozen corn and mix to combine.
• Chop the red onion
• Add the chopped red onion, cumin seeds, salt and pepper to taste, Tabasco sauce and the juice of half a lime.
• Toss the gently.
• Chop the tomatoes and add to the salsa.
• Finally; drizzle with olive oil.
• Lasts rather well, but you may serve it immediately.

It began with posting a few recipes on line for the family. "zsuzsa is in the kitchen" has more than 1000 Hungarian and International recipes. What started out as a private project turned into a well visited blog. The number of visitors long passed the two million mark. I organized the recipes into an on-line cookbook. On top of the page click on "ZSUZSA'S COOKBOOK". From there click on any of the chapters to access the recipes. For the archive just scroll to the bottom of the page. I am not profiting from my blog, so visitors are not harassed with advertising or flashy gadgets. The recipes are not broken up with photos at every step. Where needed the photos are placed following the recipe. Feel free to cut and paste my recipes for your own use.
