Spoon Jar Kitchen and Fermentery
Recipes and ideas to feast and ferment on.
Black Bean Garlic Sauce
As I was getting more and more into fermentation, I realized that Chinese ferments aren’t as widely talked about as those from Europe, Japan, or Korea. Homemade black bean sauce will not have quite the same up front punch of the jarred sauce, but will have more complexity.
Three Bean Chili
What I love about chili is the trifecta of texture, spice, and meaty-ness. It needs to have something to “chew” and that visual of a lot of great things going on - tomatoes, peppers, beans, all-the-toppings. The spice needs to be balanced; yes to heat and smoke but not so much as to blow out your taste buds on the first bite.
