Black bean and spicy chorizo are among our favorite traditional Latin flavors. This bold new take on south-of-the-border cuisine takes a different twist on our favorite Hispanic elements, combing the earthy sweetness of sweet potatoes, the tangy notes of feta and red onions, all mixed through with sugary cinnamon. Your palate will thank you for this one!
As always, Randall Beans play an important role as a protein base for this dish. The chorizo adds deep, savory and irony spice to the overall composition, but is balanced by deglazing the entire dish in chicken broth reduction. The beans come through beautifully, taking on all of the rich chicken gravy flavor. Top with a bit of cilantro or parsley and you’re in for a dinner time treat!
