I love the grill and the smoker,
but some of lifes truely great food comes from a slow cooker.
today i am preparing black beans - these will not be ready till tomorrow,
but i can wait.
The blend of spices mellowed by the black beans takes time.
chilies, cumin, beer, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lime!
And of course - blacl beans.
A bit spicy, a bit sweet, a bit of acid, a bit of salt (sorry, no real bitter - the beer adds sweet)
Hearty!
Oh, but for tonight - there will be Ox tail soup - something my mom would make!
Usd to be the "peasant meal" because the beef tails were discaredNot any more!
The tail is full of flavor and mixed with the right vegtables - wonderful!
Maybe i will get pictures before it is all gone!

Yes...slow cooking is the best and speaking of which...I am wondering if I should stew some pork local style :)
By the way...is the black beans from the can or just the dry black beans which we need to soak overnight.
Hearty meals indeed! It is spring here, time for outdoor meals like bbqs and light salads.
Thanks for your encouraging messages at my blog.
shionge - always use the dry kind to soak overnight - i have had problems with the canned kind in this application ...
Now for simple meals - the canned do just fine, but my black beans always taste best is started with dry...
