Cold-Buster

Today's lunch was a combination comfort food/medicinal meal, as I have been under the weather for over a week. I'm hoping the copious garlic and jalepeno in this dish is enough to burn away this chest cold and let me breathe (fire). Let's just hope it doesn't burn out my stomach, too.
The beans: canned black beans with a clove of raw garlic, heated just through. The sauce: cumin, smoked paprika, 6 cloves (or so) and a jalepeno brought to life in a couple tablespoons of olive oil, then cooked into diced tomatoes (canned) and pureed (left chunky) with the immersion blender. Two over easy eggs cooked with more garlic and jalepeno, two sprouted grain corn tortillas and a little cilantro. Stand back, germs!

And from a couple of weeks ago, a super healthy corn/bean/quinoa stew with carrots, celery, spinach, tomato and similar spices to the heuvos, but in moderation. This one was excellent on its own and re-heated with some tamales, then later as a soup with tomato soup to thin it out.
