Ingredients
  • 1/2 pound Black Beans; soaked
  • 1 small Onion; chopped
  • 1 small Carrot
  • 1/2 Celery Rib
  • 2 ounce Ham; chopped
  • 2 Jalapeno Peppers; stemmed
Directions
  1. 1
    In a large saucepan, combine the soaked black beans, chopped onion, carrot, celery, chopped ham, stemmed jalapeños, 1 whole clove of garlic, 1 bay leaf, 3 sprigs of thyme (tied together), and 5 cups of water.
  2. 2
    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered until the beans are tender, approximately 1 hour 30 minutes, adding more water if necessary to keep beans submerged.
  3. 3
    Remove the saucepan from heat. Discard the carrot, celery, thyme sprigs, bay leaf, and whole garlic clove. Drain any excess liquid from the beans.
  4. 4
    While the beans are simmering, prepare the marinade by whisking together the juice of 1 whole lemon, 1/3 cup olive oil, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil in a shallow dish.
  5. 5
    Place 24 oz salmon steaks in the dish and coat evenly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  6. 6
    In a small bowl, mix 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper flakes, and the juice of 1/2 lemon.
  7. 7
    Stir the garlic-lemon mixture into the cooked beans. Taste and adjust salt if needed. Set aside to keep warm.
  8. 8
    Preheat a charcoal grill to moderately high heat. Clean the grates thoroughly.
  9. 9
    Remove salmon from marinade, letting excess drip off. Place salmon steaks on the grill.
  10. 10
    Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, basting occasionally with reserved marinade, until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  11. 11
    Serve the grilled salmon steaks immediately alongside a generous portion of the spicy black beans.
