Black Bean Chili

Just a nice variation on one of the staples. These nice small black beans take about 35 minutes to cook at a moderate simmer.

When the beans are about ready, add tomato, onion, garlic, green pepper, chili power, cumin and some salt and cook at low simmer for another 15 - 20 minutes. Rice cooked separately can be added to stretch the chili. The whole thing takes less than an hour.

We had it with griddle bread (recipe here) and carrot&cabbage salad and some greens from the last farmer's market of the season, sadly.

Really, it's an awfully nice meal. And there's plenty left for tomorrow. The last of the squash pie for dessert.
