Black Bean And Corn Pancakes With Tomatillo Salsa Recipes

Steps:

• In a very large bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until serving. Serve with tortilla chips.

Steps:

• Black Bean and Corn Pancakes: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt and cumin. Add cornmeal and stir. In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, milk, vinegar, black beans, corn, chiles, onion, bell pepper, cilantro and cheese. Add to cornmeal mixture; stir until combined. Heat a griddle to medium-high heat. When heated, spray with vegetable non-stick cooking spray. Place 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the mixture onto griddle, placing about 2" apart. Cook until firm on the edges and tiny holes appear on each pancake. Turn the pancakes and cook until brown on the other side. Tomatillo Salsa: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to medium. Use a wire grill brush to loosen any crud or soot from the grate. Use an oiled side towel to remove any loosened crud.
• Put the corn and the tomatillos on the grill and grill until they get charred and black on all sides. Remove from the grill and let cool.
• Cut the kernels from the corn cob and scrape any residual bits of corn off the cob. Scrape any really charred bits of skin off the tomatillos and then cut them into 1/2-inch chunks.
• In a large bowl, combine the corn, tomatillos, black beans, garlic, scallions, and jalapenos, if using. In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the vinegar and oil. Pour over the salsa and season with salt, to taste. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed. Toss in the cilantro and serve.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and onions, and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and very soft, about 10 minutes.
• Drain the black beans, and reserve 1/4 cup of the liquid. Add the beans, the reserved bean liquid, and the remaining ingredients, except the parsley, to saucepan; cover, raise heat to medium, and cook, stirring occasionally, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat, transfer to a serving dish, and garnish with the parsley leaves. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together black beans, Mexican-style corn, diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, tomatoes and green onion stalks. Garnish with desired amount of cilantro leaves. Chill in the refrigerator at least 8 hours, or overnight, before serving.
