Brocolli and Black Beans with Lime
Given that most of my posts are pretty much everyday fare, what I have started doing with the WHB, event is featuring some of the staples of my kitchen.
Lime (not lemon) is one of these. I know we use them interchageably, but there is a slight difference in the flavor. I find a lemon more fragrant, but the lime tarter. These are both Vitamin C rich fruits. I squeeze limejuice practically on everything.
The other thing that I do not like is cold salads in winter, instead I like to do this warm variation, like the following brocolli-black bean stir-dry.
