Saintly Black and Gold Salsa

I don’t usually write about the Superbowl. Heck, I wouldn’t usually even know it’s going on, but this year it is a Very Big Deal around here. After 43 years, the Saints have made it into their first Superbowl, so there’s about 43 years worth of celebrating to do, and if there’s one thing New Orleans does better than anyone else, it’s celebrate.

That celebratory spirit can be felt even as far away as Jackson. We’ll be partying with our friends S and J, who were so confident that the Saints would make it to the big game that they gave us this enormous black and gold, handmade platter for Christmas (along with a not-so-subtle hint that they’d like to see it on the blog!) I’m bringing it to their house filled with three Superbowl dips: Who Dat Hummus, Geaux Guacamole, and this tomatoless salsa with spicy Louisiana flavors. Geaux Saints!

Saintly Black and Gold Salsa

Don’t be deceived: This “Saintly” salsa has a powerful kick! Either roasted or raw corn can be used. To roast the corn, spread it out on a baking pan and spray it lightly with olive oil. Broil on the top rack, watching constantly and stirring often, until kernels just barely begin to brown. Don’t overcook or the corn will be tough.

    This looks really good – love the mixture of black beans and corn. I'd like to make it for a wrap filling!

    That looks really good…..will have to make it another time, since I'm already making vegan bean chili for the game-watching. I've never watched a Superbowl, but since I'm in NOLA, I must 🙂 Who Dat!

    You say black and gold, and I say Steelers, who were the champs last year.

    So maybe this is the Saints' year.

    I was unexpectedly invited to a dinner tonight, wondering what to contribute when I saw your posting. This is perfect, so I just made a batch. I did replace the vinegar and water with the juice from a lime. Since I'm allergic to peppers, I replaced them with plum tomatoes. It's wonderful, hanks for the last minute save!

    Black beans. Roasted corn (pan toasted quick on hot pan). Chilies and onions…you have me cryin'! This is so close to my ideas ..Susan…thank you given me a script-ready alternate my own tomato-based salsa (which is a..oh..never mind). And how nice that the New Orleans Saints won a game wherein heavily armoured-men mud wrestle and get paid a *LOT* of money. I would rather eat/cook with youse guys and gals. xx.

    Wow! Terrific idea! I ,like you, was interested in the SuperBowl for the first time in years. I made baked chicken wings lightly brushed with olive oil and salt and pepper served with hot sauce, hot artichoke dip, chilled shrimp and a chopped salad. We had a great time!

    I can guarantee that is a great meal. I made that with a friend inside a wrap. We used sour cream which really helped to moisten the consistency ( I am only vegetarian). Is there a vegan alternative to sour cream? I am fairly new to being vegetarian and I am learning more and more about being vegan. By the way, it is a great shot. I love the contrast between the yellow and black.

    This was delicious! I used aduki beans, cause I had them on hand. Hey Charlotte, you could get a ripe avocado and mash it up (maybe with a bit of lemon juice) to get a creamy consistency instead of sour cream. It's a bit different, but would be really yummy. I know this is a fat free site, but avocado is a really healthy fatty food for people who want to keep their brains in top shape.

    I just came upon this blog two days ago so I missed making this for the game. But the picture looked so delicious I whipped it up anyway and it was amazing! I didn't want to make a huge serving so I lessened the amount of ingredients and I did not add too much Creole seasoning but it was great. I served it to a few of my friends and it was a hit!

    Thank you for the recipe!

    Congrats to your team, Susan! This looks great – the Creole seasoning is appropriate. 🙂 I like the idea of the red wine vinegar. I'll make this for my next writers group meeting.
