Angel's Texas Black Bean "Caviar"

Submitted by: Mary Pomerantz

• 2 cups drained cooked black beans, rinsed (about 1 16 oz. Can)
• 1 cup onion chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
• 2 pickled jalapenos, chopped medium fine
• 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
• 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
• 1 ½ tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• ¾ teaspoon dried savory
• ½ teaspoon ground cumin
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• ¾ teaspoon cayenne
• ¾ teaspoon white pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

In a bowl, combine the beans, onion, red pepper, jalapenos, and garlic. 

In a medium-sized non-reactive saucepan, combine the vinegar, sugar, chili powder, savory, cumin, salt, black pepper, cayenne and white pepper. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the black beans mixture, bring to a boil, stirring frequently, and simmer for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice.

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour.  (Can be made 4 days ahead and kept refrigerated.)
