Now that plum season is almost here, this is a great recipe to use them in
season. It's a really pretty dish, too.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 whole plum
1/4 cup vegetable broth or liquid for sauteeing
1 large white onions
1 large yellow pepper -- cored and diced
1 large red pepper -- cored and diced
2 whole garlic clove -- crushed
2 whole cloves
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon oregano -- crumbled
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1/2 cup cilantro -- minced
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon honey
2 cups cooked black beans -- drained and rinsed
to taste salt
3 cups brown rice, cooked
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the plums and boil for 1 minute to
loosen the skin. Remove the plums with a slotted spoon and set them aside to
cool. Place the sauteeing liquid in a large skillet. Add the onion, red and
yellow peppers, garlic, cloves, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper, and cilantro.
Saute over medium heat, stirring often, until the onion is soft and
translucent, about 7 minutes. Peel the plums, remove the pits, and coarsely
chop the pulp. Stir the lemon juice, honey, and plum pulp into the onion
mixture. Add the beans, stir, and cover. Turn the heat down to low and
continue to cook until the peppers are soft, stirring often to prevent
sticking, about 30 minutes. Season with salt and serve warm over rice if
desired at room temperature or well chilled.
