From our most frequently used cookbook, Great Bowls of Fire, comes this Brazilian black bean and meat stew. The chipotle peppers and chorizo really complemented each other, although next time I’d use a spicier chorizo if I could find it.

Great Bowls of Fire is a fantastic cookbook — a lot of the recipes only require one pot, and even though it’s not marketed as a “healthy” cookbook, a majority of the recipes are low-fat and many are vegetarian. And as the name would imply, they’re all spicy. It’s been out of print for a while now, so if you can find a copy for cheap, grab it while you can.
