SO HOW'D IT GO?
I agree, this is not crazy! Beans & fruit go together well (ie pineapple & kidney beans or baked brown beans)... I guess because they are "the musical fruit...???!!! ;D
After seeing this gorgeous photo, and realizing that I had all the ingredients on hand, I decided I had to make this. Right Now. I added some peeled and grated fresh ginger in with the garlic. Yum! This one's going in my recipe box. Thanks!
