commodorifiedHow to "adopt" the stew shown in the last post:
Toast as many cumin seeds as can be cupped in your palm by tossing them into the bottom of the dry pot and shaking them about until they are a nice deep even brown and smell toasted.
Then add:
One can of diced tomatoes.
One can of chick peas.
One can of black beans.
One zucchini, rough-chopped.
Season with:
As much of Rancho Gordo's Oregano Indio as can be cupped in your palm.
Same of Epazote
A solid dash of Cholula hot sauce.
Dash of pepper.
Salt to taste, being careful to check whether or not the beans are salted - many/most are.
One Chile de Arbole and two bay leaves, all of which you will fish out before serving.
Simmer the stew until people get home and serve it to them with rice, tortillas, cornchips, cornbread, biscuits ...
No cats were roasted in the making of this supper. Not for lack of trying on their part, mind you.
