Black Bean Mango Salsa: 1/2 cup dried black beans, rinsed 2 tablespoons olive oil 1/2 cup diced onion 1/2 cup seeded and diced red bell pepper 1/4 cup diced celery 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin 1/8 teaspoon pure red chile powder 1/8 teaspoon cayenne powder Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar 1/2 cup diced mango (or papaya, if you prefer) 1/2 cup diced watermelon Put the beans in a saucepan with enough water to cover by 1 or 2 inches. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer, covered, until tender, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Stir the beans occasionally and add more water if necessary. Strain and reserve. Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan and lightly brown the onion over medium-high heat. Stir in the bell pepper, celery, cumin, chile powder and cayenne, and sauté for 1 minute. Transfer to a stainless steel bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the cooked beans and the remaining ingredients; toss well to combine. Chill and set aside. Soak the taro in a bowl of cold water for 30 minutes. Rinse well under running water, drain, and pat dry. Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan. When the oil is hot, deep-fry the taro over high heat for about 2 to 3 minutes, until crispy and golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels. Prepare the grill. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, and coat with the olive oil. Grill for about 5 minutes per side for medium doneness. To serve, place about 3/4 cup of the Black Bean Mango Salsa in the center of each serving plate. Slice the chicken and stack the sliced on top of the salsa. Top with the taro fries and garnish with the chives.
