When chef Erik made this for the first time for a wedding we had, the staff stood around with chips trying to take a swipe at it for themselves. We had it the next day in nachos which made it an even more complex flavor. The key is a ton of fresh garlic... be bold!

Ingredients

6 fresh diced tomatoes (this makes all the difference in the world)

1 fresh diced jalapeno pepper

1/2 diced red onion

1 bunch chopped green onion

1/2 can black beans (or corn, or both)

*1/2 cup chopped garlic

3 Tablespoons chili powder

1 Tablespoon cumin

2 Tablespoons black pepper

1 Tablespoon salt

1/2 cup oil

1/2 cup chopped cilantro

Mix all of the spices together. Mix all the other items in a big bowl. Add the spices, oil, cilantro, and let stand in the fridge at least 4 hours or overnight.

Serves: 50

*Note: about the garlic - get the stuff in the jar in the refrigerated section of the supermarket. This has a more mellow flavor than that which you could do yourself and it will save you a ton of work.
