Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 cups black or red kidney or other beans -- sorted and

soaked

2 teaspoons epazote -- optional

4 teaspoons cumin seeds

2 teaspoons dried oregano

preferably Mexican

3 onions -- finely diced

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

4 garlic cloves -- coarsely chopped

Salt

4 teaspoons sweet paprika

2 tablespoons ground red chile -- up to 3

2 cups peeled and seeded and chopped tomato -- juice reserved

1 teaspoon pureed chipotle chile -- up to 2

1/4 cup chopped cilantro

A dash of red wine or sherry vinegar

***GARNISH***

sour cream

1 poblano or long green chile

roasted and peeled and sliced

cilantro sprigs

 

SERVES 6

 

WHILE there's something especially alluring about black beans, other beans

can be used with great success here, such as Jacobs cattle, pinto, or red

kidney. Bean chili will keep for 4 to 5 days. To rewarm, thin it with a

little water, heat it gently, and be sure to taste before serving. A

splash of vinegar will wake it up if it seems dull.

 

Drain the beans. Put them in a soup pot, add the epazote and fresh water

to cover by 4 inches, and boil for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove any surface

scum. Lower the heat and simmer, partially covered. While they're

cooking, toast the cumin seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat. When

they turn fragrant, add the oregano, shaking the pan so that the herbs

don't burn, for about 5 seconds. Turn them onto a plate to cool, then

grind to a powder.

 

Saute the onions in the oil in a skillet over medium heat for 7 to 8

minutes. Add the garlic, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, the cumin mixture, paprika,

and ground chile. Lower the heat and cook until the onions are soft,

another 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and juice, 1 teaspoon chipotle puree,

and the cilantro. Simmer for 15 minutes, then add this mixture to the beans.

 

Continue cooking until the beans are completely soft, about 30 minutes

altogether, making sure the water level stays at least an inch or two above

them. Taste and season with more chipotle and salt, if needed, and add a

dash of vinegar to the flavors. Ladle the beans into bowls and garnish

with a spoonful of sour cream, the chile strips, and a sprig of cilantro.

Granola With Vanilla And Fruit Juice

 

Recipe By : Madison's Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone, page 624

Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Fruits Grains And Cereals

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

4 cups rolled flakes

such as oat or wheat or spelt or barley

1 cup quinoa -- rinsed well

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon grated nutmeg

1/2 cup sliced or slivered almonds

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup pear or apple juice

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 cup raisins or dried cherries

 

MAKES ABOUT 6 cups

 

Another way to make granola--using juice instead of oil.

 

Preheat the oven to 300 F. Mix the flakes, quinoa, spices, and almonds

together, then add the vanilla, juice, and honey. Toss well to moisten

evenly, then toast on a sheet pan until browned, about 30 minutes, stirring

a few times. Add the dried fruit once the cereal is cooked.

 

ADDITIONS TO GRANOLA

 

Except for adding dried fruits after the granola is baked so that it won't

turn rock hard, there are no hard-and-fast rules about ingredients. All of

these can be used in granola mixtures.

 

Oat, wheat, spelt, barley, or rye flakes

 

Cashews, walnuts, pecans, pumpkin seeds, macadamia nuts, almonds

 

Sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, popped amaranth, or toasted quinoa

 

Flaked coconut, banana chips

 

Chopped dates, dried cranberries, cherries, apples, pears, or papaya slices

 

Wheat, rice or oat bran, wheat germ

 

Vanilla or almond extract

 

Cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, mace
