TEPARY BEANS WITH CHILE-AGAVE GLAZE

Steps:

• Place the white and brown tepary beans in a large bowl. Add enough water to cover by 4 inches and let soak overnight at room temperature.
• Drain the soaked beans, discarding the liquid, and transfer the beans to a large pot with a tight-fitting lid. Add enough cool water to cover the beans by about 4 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat, cover and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Reserve 1 cup of the bean cooking liquid, then drain the beans.
• In a large, deep skillet, heat the oil over medium. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the cooked beans and the reserved bean cooking liquid, the agave and the chile powder. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced to a glaze, about 10 minutes. Season with salt to taste. Divide among bowls, sprinkle with additional chile powder and top with oregano.

AGAVE-GLAZED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Whisk together the chicken broth, agave, clementine juice, chipotle powder, cumin, lime zest and juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Marinate for 10 to 15 minutes at room temperature.
• Preheat an indoor grill plate over high heat.
• Set a strainer over a bowl and drain the shrimp completely, reserving the marinade for later. Place the shrimp in a single layer on a paper towel-lined plate and pat dry. Sprinkle with salt. Grease the grill plate with oil.
• Grill the shrimp on both sides until super charred and no longer pink in the middle, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a bowl.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add the reserved marinade and simmer until reduced by about half, about 2 minutes. Add the cooked shrimp and stir to coat in the sauce. Season with salt. If serving with brown rice, season with a couple drops of rice wine vinegar, plate and serve.
