Chili sippin' broth 💚

@rancho_gordo has these beans that are so remarkable that they're literally like little obsidian stones. Something something Vara Chiapas something I think they're called. They are as tasty as they look, and they produce this tar-black broth which would be criminal to discard.

Chili sippin' broth is really becoming a personal favorite. I've posted about it before but it just felt so complicated. I was preemptively trying to hit all these flavor profiles, but what I found is that all that extra stuff just isn't letting the simple flavors shine. The last couple of times I've gone back to the basics and it has not disappointed.

📌 I don't have a dedicated recipe for this, but here's generally what I did:

Broth from 8oz cooked beans
1 tsp New Mexico chili powder
½ tsp cumin
4-5 cracks black pepper
Average pinch of granulated garlic
Average pinch of graduated onion
Pinch of salt
A bit of water or so to make about 8 ounces total.

Bring all except water to a bare simmer for about five minutes, stirring occasionally. Add water to desired volume, heat, taste, enjoy.
