Hi there all, I hope that where ever you are you're well, safe, happy and thriving away!
So I really wanted to join in last weeks edition of the #naturalMedicine #plantbased #contest, but as I was still munching on my delicious Silverbeet/Kale Roulade, I had no need to waste money that I don't have by cooking more food, as I still have zero income due to our 5-6-7 weeks in lockdown (no idea now...days rolling into each other...🙃...) and which has just been extended indefinitely....
ChocolateScorpi Special Black Bean Terrine!!!Anyway, So I've got to be really frugal, but I had a great idea to create a #recipe based on chosen #ingredient of #BlackBeans AND now I do need to cook more for dinner, So, I did a quick search on the internet and could not find anyone that has yet created my new and unique #vegan
So I may have just invented a whole new recipe here...😃...but if not....doesn't matter cause mine is really good anyway! 😄
So I started off with a tin of black beans, 2 tins of 4 bean mix- which is a combo of Red Kidney Beans, Butter Beans, Chick Peas and Baby Lima Beans and we all know just how good beans are for us don't we...and if not check out this link here will which give the lowdown on the beanup...https://beaninstitute.com/bean-nutrition-overview/
Then I chopped up these guys and if you think that that sounds nasty, check out the big happy grins on these 2 as they were happy for me to have their lions share of Vitamin C and other goodies along with their delicious cousins- the terrific, tasty Tomato....https://www.healthifyme.com/blog/capsicum-benefits-nutritional-facts-and-healthy-recipes/
So I gently chopped them up and fried everything on low and slow- except for the Zuccnni (it had another job) and added Smoky Paprika, Garlic Salt, Garlic Powder, Lemon Pepper to the mix
then let it cool and blended it into a paste.
Zucchini is rich in several vitamins, minerals, and other beneficial plant compounds.While the first creamy mix was cooling, I threw the the second portion of the diced tomato, Capsicum and Purple Onion- which also packs a nutritional puch for our health https://www.webmd.com/diet/health-benefits-red-onion#1 into a fry pan with the chopped Zuccini- which by the way, is also jam packed as https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/zucchini-benefits#TOC_TITLE_HDR_2
Then mixed them together with some vegan gelatine to give it a lit bit of help, put that into a container and stuck in in the fridge to set.
Black Bean Terrinewhile that was setting, I made some fresh #Guacamole with Avocados, a dash of lime juice, lemon pepper and garlic salt to compliment my #vegan
And this is what I have ended up with- A truly delicious and highly nutritious smoky Mexican flavoured Black Bean Terrine relaxing comfortably on a bed of fresh raw veggies and salad..
Now some might say that my Terrine should actually be called a pate....but I don't care what they say, Black bean does NOT rhyme with pate, but it rhymes with Terrine....😁...🤣..)
And really, how can anyone resist the delicious grins on these 2 eh!

I am so sorry to hear that your lockdown has been extended. Again. I am so tired of all of this. They are now talking of a 4th wave in South Africa before we've even waved (ha!) good bye to the 3rd which is into its 3rd month, I think.
Be safe and stay well!
Our hands were waving the 5th lockdown goodbye as we went into the 6th...I think it was 2 weeks inbetween...
But atleast I have the time to be here talking to you guys...So there's always that VERY POSITIVE aspect to it...😂
Going for my 1st shot of Pfizer on Thursday. I haven't had a vax of any kind since I went OS in 1997..😳
Wish me luck on that...
You too stay well and be safe!
XXX
I'm sure you'll be fine. I'd had no vax since, well, I think a polio booster when I was 8....50 years ago!
Wow, that's along time...well that good to hear! Thanks
I actually can't wait till it's done and dusted cause I think the anxiety from the uncertainly of it is going to kill me quicker...🤣🙄

This would've easily been the black bean winner two weeks ago. There is so much going on in one plate, I don't even know where I'd d starting eating. I think I'd love this with some stale bread, especially the guacamole. Awesome job chef!

Yeah all good but as I said, I can't just cook food for this contest...And I don't like to cook every night, not after cooking every night for so many years...lol...(I'm a bit lazy these days, but I like to call it efficient...lol...)
Yeah I finished the salad and ate the last if it tonight on a toasted Lebanese bread.
That was not only delicious, and well done but had a great sense of humor incorporated in there. Hmmmmhmmmm I'm hungry now!
Well you try mine and I'll try yours! 😃
