Recipe - Red White And Blue Cheesecake

One half cup Dried black beans
One half cup Dried red kidney or pinto
beans
One half cup Dried white beans (Great
Northern or cannellini)
1 small Red onion,; finely minced
1 bn Cilantro, leaves only,;
roughly chopped
One half cup Olive oil
Three fourths teaspoon Salt
One half teaspoon Freshly grounded black
pepper
3 tablespoon Juice from Pickled
Chiplotes, or red wine
vinegar
1 Pickled Chiplote Chile,
seeded if desired and
minced

Keeping them separate, wash and pick over all the beans. Place each kind in
a separate pot, cover generously with water and bring to a boil. Reduce the
heat to mediumlow and cook, covered, until the beans are done in the
center but not too soft, 1 to 1 One half hours. Drain and rinse in a colander.
For added flavor, you can smoke the beans on a grill. Start a small fire
off to one side and throw soaked wood chips on the coals when the fire is
moderately hot. Lay out the beans on a baking pan, pour in water to a depth
of 1/8 inch and cover with a wet towel. Place on the grate, cover and smoke
2 hours, adding more wood chips every 20 minutes or so. Set aside to cool
and then drain.

Transfer the beans to a large mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients
and mix well. Bean salsa can be refrigerated up to 2 days. Bring back to
room temperature before serving.

To serve, line a platter or serving plates with salsa and top with grilled,
broiled or sauteed fish fillets.
