Steps:

• Heat olive oil until hot. Add red pepper and saute for 5 minutes or until somewhat tender. Add the cumin seeds and saute a few seconds until you get a whiff of their aroma. Add garlic, oregano, cinnamon, cloves and paprika and saute for a few seconds or until aromatic. Add corn, winter squash, tomatoes with their juices, the broth and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until squash is almost tender. Add beans, cover and simmer another 5 to 10 minutes or until squash is completely tender. (If liquid seems to be evaporating too much, add more water.) Season to taste with salt and pepper and spoon over noodles. Garnish with jalapeno pepper and toasted sunflower seeds.

PORK AND BLACK BEAN STEW

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat, stir in garlic and onion, and cook a few minutes until the onion softens and turns translucent. Remove the onion, and place into a saucepan. Pour the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil into the skillet, and place over medium-high heat. Add cubed pork, and cook until well browned.
• Meanwhile, pour 3/4 of the black beans along with 1/4 cup water into the bowl of a blender, and pulse until finely chopped, but not quite smooth. Pour whole beans and bean puree into saucepan along with pork cubes, chicken stock, chorizo, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.
