How to Make Star Anise & Cinnamon Black Bean Chili with Molasses & Chipotle

INGREDIENTS

1 tsp
1/4 tsp
1/4 c
1/4 tsp
2 pinch
2 pinch
1 pinch
1 pinch

PREPARATION OF THIS HEALTHY RECIPE

Use ground dried chipotle powder and a star anise pod (=1/4 tsp ground). Bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Meanwhile roast the cumin on a dry skillet and grind using a mortar and pestle. Add all of the ingredients and turn down heat to low. Cover and simmer for several hours until the beans are soft.

Beans are difficult to digest. I soak my black beans the night before cooking and rinse several times. Chop them coarsely with the food processor and soak for another few hours, leeching out proteins, helping to make the beans more digestible. I prefer my bean soups watery and thin - usually blending the final result and cooking an extra 10 minutes (remove the star anise first!).

Those who tend toward gas when eating drier foods might want to drizzle some good - quality olive oil, or stir in a hunk of coconut oil, to this dish when its finished. The added fat with boost the richness, and aid the body in digestion.

CLINICAL AYURVEDIC REVIEW

Spices & Dry Lungs

Spices are light, drying, and stimulating. They stimulate your heart and dilate your blood vessels, improving circulation and warming up your body. Beans can be boorish without a boost from the exotic aromas of cumin, star anise, and cinnamon - all herbs frequently used in lung formulas. As the late winter and early spring thaw causes fluid buildup in the respiratory tract, spices can help keep you dry, clear, and warm through the turmoil and unpredictable weather of March. Spices are like a colorful shawl or blanket, sheltering you from the winds of spring - and also protecting from the inner winds. Beans can be gas - forming and these lung - supporting spices are also carminatives, relieving or preventing gas formation.

Purifies Spring Blood

Beans are especially useful in early spring, when its best to choose foods that are the exact opposite of, lets say, the creamy and rich choices of the winter holidays. In springtime, your body is executing its natural cleansing actions, sloughing off the wintertime fats in favor for a new lightness and brightness. Beans support the bodys efforts, as they are astringent - the opposite of the dampening, sweet foods that cause you to put on excess pounds. The low glycemic index of beans is especially supportive, helping to keep your blood dry, thin, and free of congestion.

Filling Aid in Weight Loss

Heavy and hearty, beans satisfy a voracious appetite. Enjoy without the guilt - a satisfying portion of black beans (a cup) has only 11 percent of the recommended daily allowance for calories, but has the potential to fill you up 100 percent. Plus, beans contain cholesterol reducing and bowel cleansing fiber.

Beans & Your Bowels

The rich fiber content of beans aids in healthy elimination. 'Bean liquor' refers to the thick broth that forms while cooking beans - evidence of soluble fiber. The soluble fiber dissolves in water and keeps stools soft, acting as a bulk laxative. High in both soluble and insoluble fiber, the insoluble roughage stimulates bowel movements and helps to scrape the bowels. The fiber in beans also reduces cholesterol, all while increasing satisfaction.

Beans get a bad reputation for being the "musical fruit," causing unfortunate expressions after mealtimes, but the gas-forming astringent saponins actually help the legume protect itself against insects. Saponins form the sudsy foam on the surface of a bubbling pot of beans. These saponins also prevent protein digestion, making beans an especially challenging food for some. Vata individuals with insufficient digestive juices in the stomach may experience gas, bloating, and constipation after eating beans. Ayurveda says to avoid foods that make you gassy but also offers these tips to improve the digestibility of beans.

WHAT IS STAR ANISE & CINNAMON BLACK BEAN CHILI WITH MOLASSES & CHIPOTLE?

Anise, cinnamon, and chipotle chili add a warm, smoky feel, perfuming the beans, while black strap molasses adds a sweet, rich sauciness. We discovered this recipe while cooking over a campfire in northern New Mexico. A bowlful of this warming dish has the power to transport you to the fireside, under the stars, with your mouth watering in anticipation.

Metabolic Nature of Star Anise & Cinnamon Black Bean Chili with Molasses & Chipotle

See a complete list of all biocharacteristics.

METABOLIC NATURE

Metabolic Nature

Ayurveda assesses metabolic imbalances through 20 main biocharacteristics (gunas). Aggravating them weakens your body and causes imbalance. By knowing which biocharacteristics are habitually imbalanced in your body, you will be able to identify and correct metabolic imbalances before you get sick. Every biocharacteristic has an opposite which balances it (i.e. hot balances cold). You restore balance by favoring diet and lifestyle choices that increase the opposite biocharacteristic.

TASTES

The 6 Tastes

Taste is used to sense the most basic properties and effects of food. Each taste has a specific medicinal effect on your body. Cravings for food with certain tastes indicate your body is craving specific medicinal results from food. Taste is experienced on the tongue and represents your body's reaction to foods. Sweet taste causes physical satisfaction and attraction whereas bitter taste causes discomfort and aversion. Kapha should use less sweet taste while Vata and Pitta would benefit from using more sweet taste. One of the first signs of illness is that your taste and appetite for food changes. The six tastes are sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, and astringent. Do you crave foods with any of the tastes below?

DOSHAS

The Three Doshas / Body Types

Ayurveda is a metabolic theory of medicine that explains individual health, tendencies, and disease patterns through the concept of doshas, which can be understood as your metabolic patterns and tendencies.

Each dosha reflects a distinct metabolic nature and describes strengths & weaknesses in bodily function, and how these affect energy levels, digestion, susceptibility to disease, and many other tendencies.

Your metabolic nature not only affects your physical characteristics, but also influences your mental thought patterns, confidence, and enthusiasm.

Ayurveda balances these metabolic strengths & weaknesses to support your body's vitality and prevent recurrent disease cycles. This support is a critical aid, especially in chronic or incurable disease conditions.

The 3 metabolic body types (doshas), are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha).

Through dosha, Ayurveda empowers people to identify metabolic imbalances early, break repetitive patterns of disease, and cultivate habits that support long-term vitality and well-being.

Ultimately, these metabolic patterns also provide a framework for understanding yourself, including body, mind, and spiritual tendencies.
