 colourful bowl of vegan Bircher muesli topped with bright orange diced mango, dark purple blackcurrants, a scoop of coconut yoghurt, and crunchy walnuts
Bircher Muesli with Mango and Blackcurrants
AKA chocolate beans. They do it in Mexico!  Well they put in on turkeys in Mexico. I contrived this delicious, unusual dish in Australia after impulse buying a bottle of red wine ‘with a hint of natural chocolate’ (Chocolate Cellar from the McLaren Vale). A couple of sips in and it was hard to prevail. We abandoned it for a nice bottle from the Barossa Valley with only an almost imperceptible (and no added hint of) chocolate flavour.

Determined not to waste the unfortunate purchase, I turned it into a delicious mole sauce with beans in place of the traditional dead birds, it went down a storm. You may not be able to get hold of chocolate wine; I dont recommend trying very hard.  Add a few squares of dark cooking chocolate to taste.  Serve with plenty of plain brown rice, no more strong flavours needed.   Very experimental, serendipitous, delicious.

Delicious!  I adapted this from a tapa I ate in a bodega in Sevilla (where pigs legs hung from the ceiling).  I ordered the unusual dish twice, not just because it was the only thing I could eat it in that porcine morgue but because it was scrumptious!  Here I've put it in pastry and with roasted potato wedges, asparagus and salad leaves to make an amazing main course
