1/4 cup dried chopped onions
1 can (4 ounce size) chopped jalapeno peppers or mild chili peppers
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon ground oregano
1 teaspoon ground thyme
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
Garnish
sour cream
chopped tomatoes

Serve. Garnish bowls with sour cream and chopped tomatoes if desired.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.

Really excellent! Hardy and very flavorful. The potatoes were very tender and went well with the black beans, I thought. This looked and tasted like a stew that would be served at some trendy restaurant.

Tasted wonderful but the color turned out a little gray from the beans. I think since the beans are canned I might add them during the last hour just long enough to really heat through or heat them longer on the stove and then stir them in just so it looks better. Tasted wonderful!
