Ingredients
1 tbsp creamy natural peanut butter, or pumpkin seed butter
1 1⁄3 cups water or broth
1⁄2 tsp sesame oil
1⁄2 oz (14 g) semi-sweet baking chocolate or dark chocolate
3 cans (14 oz/398 ml each) unsalted black beans
3 bell peppers
2 large peaches
2 zucchinis
2 tbsp oil
Sea Salt, to taste
Black Pepper, to taste
3 cups cooked quinoa or rice, warmed
Toppings (optional): lime wedges, sliced red onion, cilantro, feta cheese
Preparation
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- In a Multipurpose or Round Steamer, combine mix with peanut butter and water. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 3 min 30 sec, whisking halfway through. Stir in sesame oil and chocolate until well combined. Measure out 1 cup; set aside. Leave remaining sauce in steamer.
- Drain and rinse beans. Place in steamer. Stir to combine with sauce. Cover; microwave on high 2 min. Using Ground Meat Separator, coarsely mash. Cover to keep warm; set aside.
- Chop peppers into thick pieces. Halve and pit peaches; cut into quarters. Cut zucchinis into rounds. Place all veggies and fruit on a Sheet Pan, drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and head to the grill.
- Place veggies and fruit on grill; close lid and grill, turning veggies often until tender and charred, about 5 min. Remove to sheet pan as they’re done.
- To serve, reheat reserved 1 cup sauce in microwave, if needed. Divide beans, veggies, and quinoa between six bowls. Drizzle warm sauce over top.

Swap fresh peaches for mangos. Or, if you can’t find fresh, try canned peaches—drain them and pat dry before using.
