Mel read an article in the latest Readers' Digest about black beans having a lot of nutritional benefits. At the end of the article was an appetizing recipe from Rachael Ray for Coconut Mango Chicken with Black Beans, so Mel figured - why not? Let's give it a shot! The result?
Overall, it's a great high-protein meal with nice light summery flavor thanks to the mango and coconut milk. Could also taste good over rice if one is looking for a carbohydrate.
Lesson Learned: The recipe called for a bit of fresh lime juice in the beans, perhaps to balance out their starchiness. However, DJ suggested that maybe the beans didn't even need that splash since the sweet taste of the mango complements everything nicely on its own.
