Corncakes with Stewed Black Beans

Stewed black beans are a staple in my house, but I usually have them with rice, on tostadas or in a burrito. Tonight I thought they would be nice with corncakes, and indeed they were. There's no real novel recipe here - just your standard corncake recipe kicked-up a notch with jalapenos, green onions, cilantro and lime zest. The black beans were stewed with red onion, lime zest, smoked paprika, cumin, leftover canned green salsa, and water. It wasn't rocket science and it turned out prettier and even more satisfying than I imagined.

Simple ideas are usually the most delicious. Your corncakes are gorgeous though!

I think you managed to combine all my favorite things into one dish. Sometimes the best things simply come together of their own accord.

Black beans are great. I have a dish quite like yours, although I use polenta instead of corn cakes. Yours looks lovely!

Wow, I haven’t stopped by your blog in a long time. I forgot how much I used to love it even before I had a blog of my own. I’m adding you to my blogroll. You have the best, most creative ideas (such as the ice cube tray idea— so cute!).

Very nice!

Mmmm black beans are one of my favourites (and I'm kind of partial to corncakes too!)

I haven't tried the sinfully vegan peanut butter cookies, I don't own the book....but you're really tempting me to get it.
