> 1 lb dried black beans
> 1 lb smoked bacon ends
> 3-4 red onions
> 1/2 stalk celery
> 4-5 jalapenos fresh
> 2-3 cups red wine
> 1/4 cup soy sauce (for salt)
> 1/2 clove garlic
> 1/4 cup hand ground cumin seeds
> 1 tbls hand ground ground black pepper
> 2-3 tbls Grandmas chili power
>
> Plus several large pinches of: thyme, rosemary, oregano, salt and a
> bay leaf. Clean the dried beans and soak for about four hours, wash,
> add to a pot covered with about an inch of water or broth. If you
> don't like bacon use bbq'd chicken or beef and if you don't like meat,
> substitute olive oil and bbq'd egg plant or squash cut in small
> junks. Fry the smoked bacon ends and drain some fat then brown the
> onions and celery in that, then separately fry the cumin and jalapenos
> (with seeds) with garlic and chili power. Pour it all into the same
> pot and simmer for about four or five hours and add the wine late to
> keep some of the wine flavor. Serve with steamed rice. This is pretty
> hot, so cut back on the jalapenos and black pepper for a lower scoville
> rating.

Awesome! Thanks for the recipe, Chuck! I'm always looking for good prol recipes like this. I'll have to substitute something for the bacon, but otherwise this is great.
I've been meaning to put out an Anarchist Cookbook for several years now. As soon as I locate the draft, it might see its way into print in 2003.
