A fresh, spring taste on a sunny afternoon. Sorry the limes are not local…but they are a favorite weakness. You could get creative and change the Simple Syrup to local maple syrup-syrup and see what that yields!

I was introduced to fry bread at a Pow Wow in CA while dating a native American young man in college; Pow Wows were wonderful community experiences. And the food was great! This bread (tho not that healthy!) can be served simply with honey atop, or serves as a great receptacle to create Navajo tacos. (Make ’em big enough to accept your fillings! See “Cilantro Rice”— THE best base for a Fry Bread Taco!)

Parsley gives it the “green” and the “fresh” and the olives and garlic give it the punch.
Use as a pate-like recipe to top fresh veggie finger-food, or as a bright flavoring for a simply prepared protein.

I can’t pronounce this recipe, but it is hearty, nutritious and full of flavor variety. If you are garlic nut (like me), ramp up your garlic addition to suit your palate. And if you are going thru the trouble of making your beans “from scratch”, consider increasing the volume a titch so you have some leftover for a burrito meal or two the next day!
Great lunch left-over too!
