Some years back, when I was living in Florida and involved in real estate, I drove past a church where a bunch of black people had set up a barbecued chicken sale, to raise money for the church.
It was lunchtime and I was hungry so I stopped and bought a plate of food. Included was a side dish of black beans and rice, with a sweet vinegar sauce on it that was really tasty.
I tried a number of times since to duplicate that taste but could never get it right until yesterday, when I brought home a bag of shredded cabbage and carrots to make coleslaw with. I needed a recipe for the sauce for it and looked on Google to see what ingredients different people use to make theirs with, and decided on the following list to make my own: 1/2 cup each of sugar, apple cider vinegar and mayonnaise, and a tablespoon of prepared yellow mustard. Mix well.
That’s it, I found it. It’s the same sauce that was on those beans and rice, and it’s great on coleslaw.
With all the crazy stuff going on, I just thought it would be good to share something good, for a change.
