Really good and spicy bean dish that goes well with grilled beef and pork. Add a few splashes of hot sauce towards the end of cooking time.( Without the bacon, this is very good as a vegetarian dish; OR, an ounce or two of chorizo sausage can be used instead of bacon)

1 tablespoon cajun seasoning
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 cup fresh brewed coffee
1/2 lime, juice of
2 teaspoons dark rum
salt and pepper
1/2 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
