Black Bean Stew

A family favorite for cold nights. This recipe is especially for Max!

  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2-3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2-3 jalapenos, minced
  • 1 green pepper, chopped
  • 1 red pepper, chopped
  • 10 oz mushrooms, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen corn
  • 28 oz diced tomatoes
  • 28 oz black beans
  • 15 oz kidney beans
  • 1 Tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 32 oz water

Heat oil and darken cumin seeds. Add onion, garlic, and jalapenos and sauté until softened. Add peppers and sauté 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and corn and sauté 5 more minutes. Add all remaining ingredients and simmer at least one hour. Serve with a dollop of sour cream or plain yogurt, if desired.

If you feel lazy, just throw everything in a crock pot and let it simmer all day on low!!!!
