Mojito Grilled Chicken




A friend gave me a magazine that had a section devoted to dishes that prominently feature herbs. When I saw a recipe that made heavy use of mint, I had to jump right in. I can't get enough of it.

The chicken was fairly straight forward, you just make shoddy mojitos and marinate the chicken in fluids, then grill them. I'll probably add more salt to break up the protein next time around.

I put a lot more work into the black beans, with which I was very satisfied.

1 Cup Black Beans
2 1/2 cups water
1 sprig fresh oregano
1 bay leaf
1/2 red onion
3 cloves garlic
cumin
juice of 1/2 a large orange

I know I put other stuff in it, but sadly, I cannot remember what. I really should write these entries when I make the food.
