- The usual amount of beans and gluten. This time I used yellow-eyed peas for the bean.
- A small can of sliced beets, juice and all.
- Half a large onion that's been resting in the fridge for awhile.
- No extra liquid
- One of those Edward & Son's Not-Chick'n bouillon cubes
- Two dried hot red peppers
- The usual salt and garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- About half a tablespoon of brown sugar
- About a tablespoon of malt vinegar
- Probably half a tablespoon of smoked paprika
- Not enough smokiness, so some liquid smoke, too
- Fennel and sage, I'm guessing half a tablespoon of each
When I'm ready to throw the mixture back in the food processor to get beat up again, I sometimes throw a little extra something in with it. This time it was half a tablespoon of both brown sugar and dill with each half of the mixture.
