SaggyBalls Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 And 24 hours later I have a really focused black been beef chili.Nothing fancy...just meat, beans, a can of diced tomatoes, 2 cooking onions and a bunch of spices.When I was cooking the beans on the stove I used coffee to replenish the reduced liquid.It was a great idea. What a strange tasting yet kickass meal. I ate it most of the day.So glad that I don't have to be around a lot of people in an office tomorrow.very beany.

thomson Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Whenever I rehydrate beans I soak 'em, drain the soaking water, and add a piece of kombu seaweed to the cooking water. That significantly reduces any gassiness AND, supposedly, adds nutrients to the beans.I love the coffee idea. I have a recipe for beer beans which is fantastic.

SaggyBalls Posted June 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 No, AD I thought the foodeeze forum had enough spice.I remember being told one time that coffee is a 'traditional' flavour in chili.As far as describing the meal, it was a very focused band of flavour.Good call on the seaweed, thomson.

rubberdinghy Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Does the seaweed change the taste? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaggyBalls Posted June 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 it adds nutrients/minerals. Probably adds some tang...or something (but i doubt it would be all that much) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
